These tomatoes are growing by themselves on our balcony. - With a little help from our pet rats: trulyjuly.wordpress.com/2018/03/24/rattie-garden-these-to.... ;)
There's nothing stopping you from growing your own food.
The ladybug's a beetle.
It's shaped like a pea.
Its color is a bright red
With lots of spots to see.
Although the name is ladybug
Some ladybugs are men.
So why don't we say "gentleman bug"
Every now and then?

Some ladybugs I have crawling around are doing a great job keeping the aphids at bay, but these few can't seem to muster the effort to do anything about the ones on this tiny pepper plant.
It's slightly annoying in my opinion, haha.
I watched them for a while to see if they were going to eat any of them.
As far as I can tell, they're best friends ;)
I actually caught one ladybug accidently step on one, I imagine they apologized.
This is a photo from the beginning of THIS time lapse sequence.
Part of my Plants & Such Set - contains a few Time Lapse Videos too!
Here's My Most Interesting Set
Most of my cosmos came out yellow, rather than orange -- most of my African Daisies, too. There's nothing wrong with yellow; it's just not the colour I was after.
So I'm very pleased with this cosmos.
Despite being tucked away in a corner, it's blooming its little head off, and it's produced an orange to rival the calendulas, California poppies, and black-eyed susan vines.
I'd already decided this was the year I was going to try saving seeds. Now I'm hoping that by selectively saving from the most orangey-flowering plants, I can get more of this colour in my garden next year.
