So now my garden is dusted white, which I am not particularly happy about. But I also wasn't thrilled at the prospect of picking off worms all the time. I use Dipel Dust which I bought when my broccoli was attacked by cabbage worms. Where do all these guys come from anyway?? :)


Oh. well. Coming later this week - VBS recap! :)
