Found on Cut Dianthus in Kitchen

It is not uncommon to find ladybugs on greens purchased at the Farmers’ Market; sometimes several days after being refrigerated.

Lovely Pale Yellow Dianthus

Was in a six pack of white dianthus.

Some Type of Origanium

I have two plants, the other one has hairy foliage.

Succulent Gift From My Mother

Purchased from the grocery store during one of our many shopping trips.

Found in the Orchard

This type of plant generally has a blue flower. Should know for sure, soon.

The scarlet bean plants are volunteers. They are from beans that I grew last session. Last year some neighborhood kids sold us seeds for 25 cents each. The kids went into detail about how easy the beans were to grow, red color of the flowers (scarlet), and how to prepare the beans.

The bean flower has already been partially eaten by a spotted cucumber beetle. They are those pretty little insects that look a bit like elongated green lady bugs.

I have chosen not to use systemic in most of my garden spaces because I want my gardens to be an inviting environment for butterflies and hummingbirds.
