The trouble with organics

What's that saying about stuff happening in threes?
This worm was in the cauliflower I bought from the farmer's market on Monday. I felt bad about smooshing him, so I stuck him in with my used coffee filters in the freezer. I'll dump him out at the composting stall at the market tomorrow. The lettuce I've had for two weeks is miraculously still good and when I made a salad for lunch today, it had a couple of bugs in there, too. Oh, and that stupid yellow mushroom is back in my mint plant with the addition of annoying aphids. Where do those things come from? Aphids, not mushrooms. They are eating up my basil and the eucalyptus plant is suffering now, too. The aloe is fine. In fact, it's growing out of its pot. Does anyone want some aloe?

Couldn't you have put the worm in one of your plants instead of killing it so sadistically, Liza?

Aphids suck. I never figued out how to get rid of those on my broccoli. What, you no like worm!? That's the answer Paul got when he comlained about worms in the corn at the farmer's market last year.
