looks like some sort of aphid. i had those when i grew tomatoes, luckily soon after they showed up the lady bugs did as well. i know you can buy ladybugs by the bag full and release them in your garden. they will eat all the darn critters.

Why didn't I see this before I went over there today! I spent the day adding soil under the pavers and getting them all level.


We need some more of the octagonal Springfield pavers before the home and garden tour.

If you have some that you can donate, we would appreciate it!

The easement looks great - we do need to get some mulch on that asap!

Thanks Mark and Amanda for the compost bin!

Everyone, please be careful and don't step in the area in the back that is roped off, We've got melons and berries planted back there.

We have received a wonderful donation of about 30 unique tomato plants (every color BUT red!!) I am putting them in the communal area so that as they fruit everyone can enjoy them.

We desperately need about 30 tomato cages. If you have cage(s) you can donate, please call me and I will pick up! 710-5702

Thank you!
