JBJ, the plant whisperer

I ate a peach yesterday and was stunned by the aroma and taste. It was sooo sweet!

I'm thinking of adding them to home-made ice cream.
 
I let Paula Cole talk to them about pistols and stamens and sunshine and irrigation and birds and bees.
I had moved to a small desert town and (among other things) started a small vegetable garden behind my cinderblock shack. I planted many things but what survived the insect predators were only beefsteak tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and hot chili peppers (all solanaceae). My main attackers were cutworms.

But I found that if I put a loudspeaker in the garden and played radio evangelists, the cutworms stayed away, out at the perimeter of the garden. I could easily pick them off leaves and drop them into anthills, where my hymenopterous little friends would dispose of them, nice and neat. Think of it as symbiosis.

Screw Paula Dean. Garner Ted Armstrong kills!

Paula Cole, dear.
