Garden story:

Michael (aged 4) and I (somewhat older), met under the cherry tree on Thursday. We went through the garden gate with our magnifiers and a purpose. We wanted to find out who was munching on the tender greens, and leaving them looking so lacy. We went to the patch where the radishes grow, and turned over some leaves. Not a critter in sight! We did find some evidence though! A tiny clutch of orange eggs on the underside of a bok choy leaf. I asked Michael if we should remove the eggs, so the hatchlings don't keep eating our Greens. He took a moment to consider, and then he said, "I think a caterpillar has been eating these leaves. We need to keep the pollinators. Because without them none of our food will grow."
