FALL HORTICULTURE

Nature’s miracles!

12/20/2020

 
Picture
Caterpillars lined up on a leaf to thwart predators. The sophistication, complexity, and sensitivity of nature is unimaginable, and way beyond the understanding of lowly mankind.

Caterpillars I found on an elm seedling. Why do they do this? I’m pretty sure nobody knows, and before humans eradicate life on earth, it would be nice to first unravel some of the mysteries. Maybe after we do that, humans will have more respect for nature and ALL the creatures that share time and space with us.

We were splitting wood this summer and found this pupating insect, name unknown. Look closely and you’ll observe sophistication and ingenuity on a level uncommon. How? Why? Who? How many millions of years to evolve??? I couldn’t find the answer to these questions despite emailing scientists.

Also this month- just one more of dozens of assaults on the environment, tRUMP again refuses to do what he needs to do before it’s too late for yet another endangered species:

TRUE TO FORM, and entirely predictable, tRUMP refused to agree to a ban on using murderous mile-long drift nets off California’s coast. These nets trap EVERYTHING in them, drowning all mammals, turtles, and non-target fish analogous to using dynamite in the ocean. Kill everything and pick out of the pile of dead bodies the fish you want to sell and discard all the other forms of life. THANKS, tRUMP:

200 Asclepias incarnata evolving into plants this winter inside our greenhouse. Some Americans do what they can to support the environment and tRump does what he can to destroy our environment. Who will win? Where is the outrage???? Why don’t most Americans care more?
