Garden Bugs

This morning I went to pick up one of my tomatoes that had become ripe and had survived the squirrels because I had covered it with a mesh bag. Then I noticed this big tomato hornworm lying still.


I then went over to pick up some basil. My garden is overgrown with basil and there jumped out a praying mantis. Since I've grown vegetables organically, these bugs are a testament to the no insecticide policy.


Basil bed.


The end product, a Caspian pink tomato and basil for dinner.
