I Burnt a Hairy Moth.


I should have taken some pictures of how I killed a moth on my tomato plants. Moth lay eggs and becomes tomato hornworm to eat tomato and pepper plants alive. I am glad I got them before they do anything. I found one this week. So I swatted it, pick it up with chopsticks half alive and burnt it in the hot grill. Gardening is a lot of works. Including killing which I don't mind to do. LOL.

Garden Updates - 10 days after the last post

Brenner's sugar snap peas are doing alright. hopefully we can get something out of it.

The broccoli is growing so big, taken over the space of my tomato plant. I guess it's a good shade for the broccoli since it can't take the las vegas heat.

My 2 Hawaiian tomato plants. I put fertilizer a week ago and boy they have grown so much. I think I need some fertilizer myself sometimes.


The beans are climbing on the net that I built. I am pretty proud of myself. It's interesting to see them climbing all on its own. It's getting too hot to stay outside watching them.

This is the third tries of the cucumber plants, I was planting them too early. But I kept putting in new seeds. Hey it's working so far.

Besides Garden how about the Bass Pro Shop at Silverton











Billy and I took the boys to the Bass Pro Shop on Sat for Billy's birthday. It was fun, we were trying to explain, uncle Gary and Big Billy (Daddy) helped building this wonderful acquaium. Don't know if they even understand that. Little Billy even asked if we could stay there all day to watch the fish. At first he didn't want to go there. But we ended up had a good time.

almost 2 weeks later















Those are my good looking plants. (for now) Most of the plants didn't survive with the crazy wind that came last couple of weeks. My poor plants. The beans has sprouted and growing pretty good. Actually Brenner's flower box doing pretty good. He has been watching everyday to see if they are dead.

My little boys raised bed

This is the raised bed that I built for my 2 boys, so that they can grow their own thing and don't bother my beds. We put some seeds into it and it's already too hot for peas to grow. But anyways, the boys love going out there with me.
