There was a lady bug on my corn stalk today.
What am I doing with corn?
Well, the bird seeds are on a tray and when the birds eat, they scatter it.
Some corn kernels fell into the flower bed where the morning glories are, and sprouted.
So, a few morning glory tendrils are climbing up the corn stalk.
There are also three or four sun flowers.
Because this is a spontaneous and neglected patch of nature, I have many aphids,
and snails and slugs and spiders and ants - laisser faire !
Anyway, as I was saying, I saw a little red lady bug creeping up the corn leaf.
Maybe she'll call her friends and they'll come gobble up the aphids.
I made a trellis-net out of strings, and a dowel, and a pulley
The morning glories are almost up to the beam just under the eaves.
There are some little green buds just waiting to sprout.
I can't wait to see the awesome purple flowers!
Watch this space for pics !
