twist me up

even though some vines are killing machines…on their own, they can be art.

the southern magnolia

when i was living in Vermont, i read about life in the deep south. i read of the legendary Magnolia. moving to Alabama in 1993, i had high expectations. the magnolia is an evergreen tree. the foliage during the winter is deep, dark green, it’s leaves are glossy & firm, which is nice when everything…

Amazon is shipping me 400 eggs that turn into this…

Huge gross factor. But the Praying Mantas is a carnivore & will feast upon the herbivores that are dinning on my basil, cilantro, banana peppers & my tomatoes…I drew this one, so that I remember that they are not aliens that have landed in my gardens. Good to draw something everyday…eewwww. I also ordered 1,500 ladybugs…

you are always welcome

Into my gardens. Would you like a little onion, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, romaine lettuce, tomato, banana pepper with that cilantro? Oh, you are a meat eater.  Go carnivore, feast on.  iPhone pic.
