Bye bye, Baby Bye Bye


CHECK IT! Those be some shallots and garlic and baby scallion seedlings thrown in there with my hydrangea. The hydrangea btw is forming buds! FLOWERS, FLOWERS, FLOWERS! O_O Gorgeous, huge, bright, hydrangea blooms. Im so excited, you have no idea. It seems that everything in my garden is green. Dont get me wrong- greens my favorite color- but man, I need some flowers. Some color, some pop! Im really curious to see how those shallots are going to turn out... there were two of them... I just sort of threw them in there, lets see what nature has in store for me.

----Caterpillar News---- My mother, in a cuban panic, threw all of the caterpillars away. D:
She called me immediately afterwards, in a hysteria that these huge worms were eating all of my tomato plants! Duh, mom- I keep a close eye on everything back there.... Now I just feel guilty that those little babies are in the garbage! :( Oh well, next time I will post up a huge note on the fridge.

MOM: CATERPILLARS ON PLANTS ARE NEEDED. PLEASE DO NOT DESTROY.

.... I will leave you with this.... HYYDDRRAANNGGEEAAAAAAAAAAA :D

Check these guys out! These are only SOME of my seedling army. The ones on the top right are morning glories... beautiful vine but they grow like crazy! Look how much bigger they are than anything else in there.

This morning I awoke to some caterpillars eating my tomato leaves! They look super freaky with huge thorns sticking out of their asses. I didnt think caterpillars really even liked tomato plants, but I guess I was wrong.

-----BREAKING NEWS------

In the middle of this post I started to google different types of caterpillars and found that they creatures on my plants look to be Eyed Hawk-moth babies! Ok so im not so scared anymore. I will allow them to feast because they are growing lads and ladies and they need their nutrition. My plants are pretty big so I think they can withstand some leaf damage.

Also: can anyone tell me what im growing in this one--->
The really tall fellows....I seem to have forgotten what I planted there. PS: The three black containers on the top are growing my farmers market lettuce blend! Baby romaines pretty much....

Well, thats all. Just wanted to do a garden update. :)
