Marcelo, Gabriela, Linda H, Els, Susan, Laura and Iris met
for a final time this fall. We put some chopped leaves on the beds, removed the
final tomato cages, and generally finished the fall clean up.
We found
another praying mantis! Some discussion and googling occurred to determine if
they are or are not beneficial insects. It seems they are bc they eat many
insects but that can also be a problem because they are apparently
indiscriminate and sometimes eat other beneficial insects. This one did not
seem at all rattled by all of us clustering around and pointing at it.
Lots of talk of next year. A few last photos for now. . . .signing off till the spring!
