    Looks good, a little wide to stretch across for me, but a nice amount of produce to come. Is that a banana tree? do you get any from it?

    Thanks! Yes it's a banana plant. It hasn't given us any bananas yet but it did grow 2 other plants. We lost the newest one to the cold but the other two are still kicking and getting bigger and bigger.

    War on worms? I was wondering the same thing.
    Worms are one of the gardens most beneficial creatures, creating compost out of various types of soil, aerating the soil.

    Not these worms. They r pickle worms or caterpillars. They bore into the buds and destroy the fruits. :(

    Oh, it's a caterpillar then. Putting the word worm in it's name is confusing, like the tomato hornworm and the tobacco hornworm...all actually caterpillars.

    Thought that might be it.
