Weird weather = weird gardening
Worldchanging reports something that Lynsie and I have noticed palpably in our own garden and yard this year. It’s been a year of weird weather in Virginia — remember when it was 80 degrees in January? — and as a result we’ve seen abnormal numbers of: 1) skinks, 2) flying outdoor cockroaches, and 3) japanese beetles.
I’m proud and pleased that we’re starting a business that supports sustainable, earth-friendly agriculture. But man, it’s hard to imagine what to expect when our species is busy messin’ with mother nature.
