Just the other day, our 16 year old, came out with me to harvest the tatsoi for dinner. She said, "Isn't it great that we can walk out here, cut some stuff and then have it for dinner?" I could't agree more.Veitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041238827499250558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253299925637862755.post-63406553032888137902011-03-04T13:59:25.476-08:002011-03-04T13:59:25.476-08:00Neil!

These guys will go after other brassicas but probably not chard which is in the beet/Goosefoot family. There are some other aphid species that will go after chenopods though.<br /><br />Also, I wouldn't call honeydew aphid "spit." It comes out of the posterior end of their digestive tract, something most would consider to be a word with "spit."Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293693723899837239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253299925637862755.post-24751275816740222942011-01-25T21:53:18.107-08:002011-01-25T21:53:18.107-08:00As spices/herbs go, bay leaves are a bargain becau...As spices/herbs go, bay leaves are a bargain because they weigh so little.
