Satin Dragonflies

Category: Volunteer Green Warrior | Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 3:56 am

Both Indigo fairies and lumbering humvees
drift across the field next door. My puppy
pays no mind because there's morning business
at hand. I've noticed the subtle hints of autumn
all around me beginning with a God sent break
in the 100+ degree heat we've been plagued with
ALL summer. Blossoms everywhere I've wished them. Evening breezes usually found only in a Texan's dream.

Orange and green bell peppers blossom for the
first time since planting, Even the wild strawberries dare to peek out from the windowbox.
A competition has developed between the eggplant
to see who will be named. An honored status
started with 'Herman, the Monster Mater'. South Texas second growing season is at hand and I've survived one more summer.

Next weekend there will be new neighbors.... ladybugs, lacewing young 'un, trichogramma
wasps and whitefly parasites. Fine dining for
every gecko within miles, I'm sure.
I prefer to try this method before hitting the pesticide aisle even if I'm feeding every
transient gecko in the district.
