Down in the Dirt

Jane has left me in charge of the garden. Foolish woman. Being a good friend, I went out there tonight to check it out. As directed, I looked for bugs on the eggplant leaves. I saw nothing I was willing to squash between my fingers as instructed by Jane before she left. Instead, there were swarms of mosquitoes feasting on my arms and legs. I inspected the fava bean plants. The flowers are all turning black. Not a good sign, I think, but I have no idea what to do about it. Everything else looked fine, thank god. Let's hope nothing dies before she comes back.
