Friends in the Garden

I've been neglecting the garden slightly less than the blog, but still enough to have and enormous amount of weeds that needed pulling last weekend. But I also had a bunch of beans waiting for me as well. Nothing like New York City grown produce!
I also found a little friend crawling on the Chocolate Mint. This is a fire fly which emits light from a bioluminescent organ on the tip of its body. The light is used to attract mates in a morse code-like form of communication. And they sure are pretty to look at.

If you don't already have it, get your self a Stevia plant. Chocolate mint and Stevia leaves mixed together make some of the most delicious tea i have ever tasted.
