I have planted the majority of the spring veggies. I still have peppers, okra, corn, some beans, and amaranth to go. With the addition of my 5 new beds I have the luxury this year of still having winter veggies in the garden as well. It has been so nice to have the extra space.

Here’s the gross photos mentioned in the title. While mixing up the melon bed, I found one larva, then another, then another until finally I had a pile of 32. Each of these are about 3 inches long. They are usually found in compost piles, but for some reason they loved this bed. Maybe because I didn’t clean out the old pepper plants from last year soon enough? There were enough to put some in my compost pile, some in the leaf pile, and the rest off to the chickens.
