About the Eggplant.....

Weeks ago now, I posted that the eggplants had gotten so infested with flea beetles that I cut them down a bit. I didn't want to pull them out because I was afraid to bother the roots of the plants next to them, so again, I cut them back pretty severely and they have regenerated themselves and are putting out new fruit again. Amazing! It wasn't something I was expecting at all, but surely welcome.

I also found this little sucker hanging around. Actually there are a ton of them from light snowy white to this brown. I'm assuming the difference in color has to do with the age of the caterpillar, but I might just be making that up. Sounds good, though, doesn't it. ;)Have I mentioned how awesome that ribbon clearance was? I've wanted some cheerleading ribbon to add to the sports key chains and sure enough I found it. What's great about this satin ribbon is that if you let me know, I can make the webbing any color to coordinate with your school or rec team colors and you can have keychains for team gifts or for the team moms.

I also found a better woven baseball ribbon that I like so much better. I'm not thinking this will go well on a fob, but a wristlet would be perfect.

The morning comes early. Sweet gardening dreams.
