yummy ginger leaves

 Yummy for these buggers...

So many leaves gone!!!

This is what it looks like when that caterpillar makes a home...it seals the 2 sides of the leaf...

zero care vinegar

 Pineapple scraps put in water and just let outside to ferment. It worked but because I was not checking it at all, a lot of the water evaporated.

I use this vinegar to add to my pest deterrent sprays. The spray itself is a mixture of neem leaves water. cooking oil, dishwashing detergent and this vinegar.

long beans and ginger leaves attacked

These little fellows look like butterfly caterpillars. Lost quite a few long beans...

and their cousins gobbled up my ginger leaves...

long beans

What a beautiful flower....

market coriander

Used the coriander. Left the roots. Have tried growing them with no success so far. Trying again. Some growth after sitting in water for a day.

Planted in the ground. Will update

bitter gourd bugs

These fellow really have a feast on my bitter gourd plants. If you look carefully you can see 2 generations there.

Only good thing is that they dont fly much so its easier to guide them onto my hand and then feed them to the fish.

predator insect home coming along

 I just pruned some bamboo. Went towards the bee house...
