Stink Bugs

Boy do I HATE stink bugs.... they are my most hated bug in the garden along with ticks.

I have done quite a bit of research on how to get rid of them and it seems the only way is knocking them off your citrus tree into some boiling water being careful not to get to close to them.
Although I have never been sprayed I can just imagine how horrible it would be to get it in the eye

Our Garden

So whilst I was busy cooking our little one there was not much of anything happening, no gardening, not much sewing and not much cooking.

So our veggie garden that I had worked very hard on when we moved in started to look like this

Weeds and nasturtium everywhere!!!

Now after a bit of hard work half of it has started looking like this

Pumpkins

Zuchinni & Squash with some parsley & spring onions about to go to seed

The tomato garden - a mixture of all type grown from seed

This tree was already here when we moved in and we are not exactly sure what fruit it is if anyone know please let me know... stone fruit???

A new garden bed

and more work still to do
