every few days i think this is "the end"  for the season,  but then come down the next morning and Ta Da!….NEW!  She has self seeded 8 strong child plants.   I'm not sure when to transplant them.

Green Bean blossom…B Garden.  it is POSSIBLE that i might be able to have a 

bean.   

last week there was yet another Visitation by TheWhatEverItIS.  More destruction and severe to Jalapenos and the Cherokee Purple tomato.   The two largish ripening Slicer Tomatoes DISAPPEARED…totally.  There and then GONE.   There was a cantelope yesterday. It's had crack but i left it hoping it would continue ripening and i could share it with Jenny today.  Mid morning….GONE.   The interesting thing is that there is no damage to surrounding plants…vines….IT is neat.  Nothing walked on,  nothing pulled away or down.  Just    GONE.

the Malabar now with it's secondary leaves…,   Boc Choi same.   Mustards are UP.   Bell Peppers REGROW leaves that are strong  and GREEN…quite Beauty Full,  really….the Tomatoe plants hold their own,  their stumps pointing to the sky.  I think a lot about Farmers…Organic Farmers….how there is such a fine balance  and we just can't know.    The protective cover stuff arrived today at Alyssia's.  Tomorrow i'll begin making the fencingArches that will hold it.   

No te Rindas.  si.  yes and okay.   No te Rindas.

    Save me some Hollyhock seeds? There is one more place for me to try planting them that may work.

    love so much that the mysterious hollyhock has produced a colony of children.
    this is a horrible thought but since all these things were just taken without a trace of clues…could it be your neighbors who seems to have some boundary issues????

    When seed pods are dry crack open and sprinkle the seeds where you might like them to be- the meadow?
    Mother Nature will take care of it from there. Here In the North- I would d have to wait till March to sprinkle seeds. You don’t have to wait.
    Like Acey- I was thinking your thief is more likely human. The goats would make tracks. eat everything Small animals would eat right there in the garden and not carry anything away. Chipmunks are eating my garden right now. Too many acorns last Winter and they had many sets of babies because they had so much food.
    Your new cloth is very very nice.
