Leaf Beetles



Oh dear, oh dear!
The leaf beetles are here. 
Didn't they leave after my pumpkin harvest last year?
Why is this one resting on my Zinnia?


They have a special knack,
To track down their favourite snack.
Now they are all back,
For the watermelon attack.


Titty fruit leaves, soft and furry,
Also tasty, crunchy and yummy.
When it has filled up its tummy,
I hope it doesn't start a family.

Bountiful Fruits in Canada

Two days ago, I posted on some of the most Incredible Blooms in my niece's garden in Canada. 
I thought you might be interested to take a look at some of their fruit trees too.


Look at those pears!!!


...and cherries!!!


These are cherry flowers. 
Frankly, I would definitely want to plant a cherry tree if it blooms like that for me. 
Fruits doesn't matter but of course all the better.


Apart from huge tomatoes, there are also juicy watermelons almost ready to be harvested.

Do you want to know the secret of this beautiful and bountiful garden?
I was told it is through applying regular doses of self-made aerated compost tea and eliminating chemical fertilizer altogether.
Thanks to my niece and family for this wonderful information.
Try it out if you wish.


Chweet waiting for Speedy

On a side note,  GardenWalkGardenTalk has let out word that Speedy needs to be adopted. I agreed to take Speedy in but so far has not seen any signs of it. It's raining cats and dogs out there for the last few hours and we are getting rather worried. Kindly watch out for Speedy. You can find its image in gardenwalkgardentalk. Leave us a note if you spot Speedy, ok?
