Entomology: To study Bugs!

I've been out playing in the dirt a lot lately, and with dirt comes bugs.

Flying bugs, hopping bugs, creepy crawly bugs. I don't know a whole

lot about them, I don't know exactly which ones are bad and which

ones are good.

Of course I know that aphids suck the life out of my roses,

and leaf-rollers do a whole lot of damage to.... duh...leaves.

What do centipedes do? I saw lots of them when I was planting seeds

this week. Are those bugs I saw in the organinc garden area going

to become worms in my radishes and carrots?

Ah well....what will be will be.

I really just grow for fun anyway, not so concerned about yield.

I've never sprayed

my fruit trees, one of my instructors back in my

horticulture study days was a total jerk to me when I said I didn't

spray my trees. He taught a class about fruit and nut trees. The

guy was a nut, and I thought he was a little spray-crazy. I heard

through the grapevine that he was ill, I wonder if it was all

that crazy spraying he was doing. Makes ya wonder doesn't it?

Around here we just kinda let the bugs....be bugs.
