Mason Bee Update


Today was the final stage for the Mason bees life cycle. I took the larvae out of the hive and washed off the light cement-like covering. The directions warned there may be mites but there were none in sight. They are now drying before I put them into boxes and store them in the refrigerator crisper until spring blossoms appear. 
We had purchased 30 bees and those bees produced 56 larvae. No idea how many will hatch in the spring.

2016 Tahsis Days Annual Community Garden Slugfest


The hunt was on!  Who can find the most slugs?


Checking out the slug jail

These guys were pretty determined

Juanita and Dudley watch with anticipation.  Dudley was dressed up with a bow around his neck for the occasion. Dudly and his other ducky friends get all the slugs at the end of the event.  Yum yum!

Pondering the scavenger hunt
Great stuff to find in the garden!

After a great story from Catherine about a slug who wants a pretty shell, the kids get to make slugs with shells as a craft

Loving the fruit kabobs!

Ice cold lemonade, with the addition of mint and lemon balm from the garden

yum!

Cooling off under the tent
