Good, Bad and Beautiful Bugs

Hot and Dry! We watered and weeded to start Thursday. Garrett's last squash succumbed to the dreaded squash vine borer shown here.









Miss Chris taught the class about bugs. The young gardeners already knew about good bugs and bad bugs. Today they learned about the different mouth parts various insects have - chewing, piercing-sucking, sponging, siphoning and rasping-sucking. A really cool slide show followed with photographs of good and bad insects.

Today's snack was almost to pretty to eat! Here's Ethan with his.
