I am now growing an assortment of herbs, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers and melons.
I also noticed the other day that one of my Plumeria (Frangipan) seems to have died.
Perhaps it took a bad hit from a lawn mower or weedeater. I was told by a nursery person that these are especially sensitive to damage caused by weedeaters and bumps from mowers.
I also bought a plant at an arts and crafts show Saturday. I don't know what it's called, but it looks like a colorful version of a Hens and Chicks succulent.
I thought that it might be pretty in front of the house, where I have no hose to water potted plants.
Not bad!
Unfortunately I uncovered a carpenter ant nest when I moved a pot yesterday. Well, unfortunate for me. The lizards were all very excited! They all came running when they saw what was going on! I had three of them vying for the buffet. I learned that the adults ants must have a fierce bite, so they are avoided by the lizards. The lizards seemed to be concentrating mostly on the winged ants, and occasionally an egg.
Grody! But I found both the ant and lizard behavior fascinating!
