The Garden at Night

Posted on July 11, 2009

When pests become a gardening problem but the source can not be found, a flashlight nighttime tour is often suggested to find the culprit. But nighttime gardening can be full of other delightful surprises as well, such as the perfect release time for beneficial insects and to see other wildlife you don’t normally see during the day. If you haven’t done it already, take the time to enjoy the quiet of your garden at night—you might be surprised to find something new. At the very least, it’s a nice place to enjoy a quiet glass of wine in the dark, dreaming about your harvest!

Here are the pictures from my late night garden tour and ladybug release last night:
