Sluggish Slaughter

One red bell pepper
In the flower pot, leaves gone
Holes bored in the fruit

No smoking gun by
Juice in a jar lid will drown
Many frustrations

Gardening never know what will happen. Those beautiful butterflies and moths can be destructive when they lay their eggs. Mom Sent you an email
