Our Garden Journey

If you have stumbled upon our humble blog please be advised. We are not expert gardeners nor would we ever claim to be. We are novices, newbies, wannabes. Call us what you will, but we are just some folks trying to find a better way to feed ourselves that honors the origin of that food and really enjoying the discoveries we find along the way. This is our garden journey.

Praying Mantises

 We had been tending to a nest of praying mantises for a couple months and they finally hatched in the last days of June.  We can't wait to see these little guys grow and go to work in our garden.  They are supposedly very handy for eating all sorts of bugs.  We've seen videos of them actually attacking mice as well as hummingbirds.  I certainly hope they don't go after the latter of the two, but it I must admit it would be very interesting to see! 

We ordered our nest from Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply at www.GrowOrganic.com
