I’m back, and fuck it’s still hot.
Wee Little Farm is also suffering. Many large cucumbers were on the vines, some were over ripe, and some were consumed by pickle worms. More than half of the ones I picked yesterday were directly added to the compost bin. At least there were some I damaged ripe tomatoes on the vine. Later in the day I went out to look at something and saw that one ripening tomato I left on the vine had been eaten.
In doing research about the pickle worm problem, I read this:
“Pickleworms are native to southern states like Texas, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Sanford, Michigan, Connecticut, and even further up north. Pickleworms are excellent migratory insects”
Sanford? Did I miss Captain Chaos using an Executive Order to create a new state? And since when are Michigan and Connecticut southern states?
