It is true, I have a black thumb, yet I want a victory garden of raised beds and a drip system.  Getting [...]

A lot of developments are happening on the Light Brown Apple Moth and it is pretty disturbing.

Don’t Spray on Me

The much hailed April 24th “postponement” of the Light Brown Moth spraying by Migden and Schwartzenegger will only temporarily delay the spraying. Marin is still scheduled to be sprayed in August 2008. This means everyone is invited to attend a panel on May 5th and attend the rally on May 10th to protest the spraying. [...]
