That defining moment...

I stood in the garden surrounded by beautiful plants towering over my head, the flowering was going to start, that window to spray for bugs was closing. Knowing that one plant covered in worms was controllable, this was insane. I could see them, everyone else wears glasses and is mostly blind, if we could tweeze them out of each bud when they are tiny, I mean smaller than my pinky nail from side to side, we could control the damage. My partner used butterfly nets and hunted down as many white butterfly's as she could, she stopped counting at twenty something, plus what I would kill while out there. We did not spray, it was a hard choice, but she had a pomegranate tree with squash bugs thousands of them it turns out the squash bug lays larva on the leaves and the loopers eat them and a parasite grows in its belly and kills them, I googled loopers organic control, her ivy jungle and hundred year old trees had created a perfect ecosystem,and contained everything I read, and it controls it's self. Plus there's one thing I learned from growing indoor is the cause of every problem is water. So we controlled what we added which was water and no bugs grew. Only plants grew and grew at amazing speed I swear. As for the loopers , in far less numbers then the year before...I picked them out, some got big, destroyed buds, I just chopped them off and threw them in the bubble hash box...there was so much you couldn't tell. What I am curing now has no damage. It's too much work three times a day for two hours I was out there trying not to damage buds as I covered my body head to toe in stickiness, at one point spiders were biting me, I started taking off my shoes, and I got less muddy and no spider bites. Treading lightly I guess. Then I stepped on a (I swear genetically engineered) bee and it swelled almost to my knee by the third day, I put my shoes back on after that. It's weird because it stung me on the bottom but my second toe is wrinkled now, it looks older then the other. Lol true story. Lol
