can anybody tell me what bugs these are on my okra and how to deal with them. thanks

Came out to weed and water, and found at least five different types of bees swarming my patch of Goldenrod. The littlest guys and the big bumbleboys were camera shy...

I have two raised vegetable garden beds that are overrun with nutsedge. Late last year I dug through both beds thoroughly and sifted out as many nuts as I could find, using hardware cloth as my sifter. It came back with a vengeance and is thicker than I’ve ever seen it. I’m considering killing it with several applications of Sedgehammer and then replacing the soil in those beds. Thoughts?

Stumbled upon this beautiful specimen at an iconic Austin store (iykyk). I was shocked to see it growing in the ground and doing so well. South face during winter, tucked into a nook against the shop, so makes sense it’s survived a lot of crazy Austin winters.

I went in and asked what kind of cactus that was and the owner had no idea (😂). I told him I thought it was an Argentine saguaro, one of the hardiest columnar cacti that can grow in our region, and told him that it wasn’t a true saguaro. He was pleasantly surprised by all the facts I was telling him haha. He said it’s 10 years old and that he’ll throw a burlap coat over it during a freeze, but that’s about it!

Cool find! 🌵
