My First Garden Ever

The cicadas are buzzing and that reminded me of a big!, huge wasp! I saw last year at this time when the cicadas began to buzz, soon after I began seeing some of the wasps, they were so scary they made me do my research and I found out the answer... Cicada killers! .. Soon I'll be seeing the wasps I guess. Cicadas never represented a problem to my garden(pest), so I don't count them as such, although on a big scale agriculture you may hear another story. You know if she was going to be a problem she certainly will not be posing as a star at my blog, more certain she would have been under the sole of my shoe. So let it be clear cicada, you don't mess with my crop and stay out of my shoe. She thinks she is funny. Fat belly. UFO. Hey if I get enough insects I can open my own ice cream enterprise too!.

My green beans leaves always get the  leaf miner  marks, but only very few.

Here is not that cold , well 2 days ago it was I suspect the last cold night at 46F(in the last 3 weeks only twice we retested those lows, you know, feels more like summer at this point) , but today at 89F at 1:00PM the stinky bug called my attention, lucky me I had my camera with me. Globalization brought this little fella to America!. There it was flying and landed on my fence.

Every time I go to the garden in the morning my camera is with me so pictures can be taken when an insect parks in there, that way I can identify them. You know they look pretty, with their colors and all the fuss, but no!, not all of them really are. The monster below is a clear proof of that! and myself grabbed the sevin insecticide just to let him(or her, maybe both in case of an hermaphrodite) know the boundary crossed. One day latter his relative was here(maybe they send a rescue team when I killed the other one the previous day). Whatever it is They seem to be here early in the season.

Hurry!, hurry!, bring the squad forces!, my garden is been invaded!. I noticed days ago some dry holes in a couple of my green beans leaves as it something was eating it and I found out aphids were flying like helicopters when I shaked some of the little plants leaves. I will have to get a spray solution for my plants. Then I found a little-tiny monster worm eating one leaf of my green bean and I made my plants some justice!, I squeezed the barbarian breath of life out of his worm body!. Some of my green beans plants are more than 6 inches tall already at just 14 days of their life. What's eating my leaves? Aphids!. What are you doing? monster!! First 14 days of  life of my first square foot garden.
