Let's see those '11 gardens!

We're getting tomatoes and cukes pretty regular. Had one big tomato, and there's three more great big ones just about ready to pick.
I've been killing tomato hornworms and grasshoppers regularly. The only other pests were some cabbage moth worms which I'm used to. These plant eating grasshoppers and hornworms are all new to me. The white mold fungus on the cucumbers and zuchini is all new, too.
It's been amazing how moving 150 miles west changes everything. The soil is totally different, the amendment process is all different, the bugs are all different, the diseases are different, and the complte lack of presence of plain old worms freaks me out.
It's made things a lot of fun, and I'm all smiles every time I look at the garden because I was able to make it all work so well in a real short amount of time, and the garden is doing great. I've already let it teach me lots of stuff that I'll keep in mind when I plant the big garden next year.

I had a friend that had a pair of Jackson's Chameleons that he would turn loose in his garden for a few days a week.
NO WORMS, and they always had very healthy babies which he sold. I always thought they would immediately bolt
for the treeline, but apparently a steady source of food and the few days a week treatment was enough to keep em local.

Now that's cool.
