a tramp around the yard

it's july and these things are back...

and this is what they have done to some of my grape leaves...so i mixed four tablespoons of neem oil in a gallon of water and sprayed the leaves and will do so until i don't see any more of these things...

happily there is better news in the bean department...the bush beans i have grown from seed have begun to produce and i planted another batch this past week...

the hungarian hot peppers have recovered from their angry, wet start and are producing as well...

the bush bean in my truck bed is blooming...

the ramps are going to seed...

the teocintli has begun to tiller and throw out support roots...

the rye is done...but it has rained some in the past few days and more is forecast...so i will wait for a few dry days before the harvest...besides i am still threshing and winnowing the winter wheat...

and my yard is full of dragonflies.
