Strange Tales from the Garden

August 28th, 2008

The last few weeks I have been harvesting all things green from the garden. I had a few small cucumbers to pick, and I finally had one zucchini too. The green beans went from a few here and there to me harvesting handfuls every other day! I even have 5-6 cantaloupes that are still growing, I just hope that they get enough sunlight and ripen soon.

But something is a miss in the garden… Yesterday I noticed these while I was watering.

Aaah!!! Giant Grasshoppers have invaded my garden!

Yesterday I decided to pick whatever Green Beans looked ready to pick, just in case the Grasshoppers liked Green Beans, and the strangest thing happened… I was bending down grabbing a green bean when one of the Grasshoppers Jumped up and hit me in the left eye. It stung, but I had to laugh. Only I could manage to get injured by a Grasshopper. Next time I’ll be a little more careful while I’m picking veggies.
