Straw for the strawberries and FREE harlequin bugs...

We brought in six big bales of straw to use as a blanket for the strawberries and pollinator garden. The transplanted strawberry daughters have really taken off and have even created a lot of their own offspring. We should have quite a crop of berries come June if all goes as planned. I'm sure the pollinator perennials won't mind the extra warmth, carbon, and soil structure.

We will be planting more pansies, spring bulbs, and mustard greens this E3 Friday in addition to our straw job. We should have quite the showing of spring bulbs in 2012 with this year's additions!!

Free harlequin bugs to a good home. Must have plenty of brassica to eat and have a love for invasive, damaging insects. Plenty of older bugs as well as juveniles and babies to pick from. I am sure they will be going quickly with the holidays approaching. Inquire within.
