Ants could be a secret weapon in fight against invasive lanternflies https://www.futurity.org/ants-spotted-lanternflies-3287432/
Ants that ate just one meal of honeydew from spotted lanternfly still carried the pest’s DNA up to five days later, and because ants roam widely, they detected lanternfly presence up to 100 meters, or 328 feet, away from known infestation spots.

Honeydew and watermelon for lunch! #fruit #food #weightloss #cico

Seeded honey dew melons and belatedly germinating some cabbage seeds.
Garden filling up. Still need to till some E-W beds for the tall stuff like sunflowers and beans. I think those will go where the fence was, as that area is a dusty mess anyways and has some Virginia creeper roots that could benefit from being minced to death by spinning blades.
Need to sift more compost as well, my tub is empty!
Forecast has a bunch of rain in the night, but we'll see. So far they promised a lot and all we got was a five minute shower.

The #Norwaymaple #Acer #platanoides is a native #tree of (Central) #Europe that spread northward after the last #IceAge along with mixed oak forests and is still commonly found in such #treecommunities today. Like all #trees, it offers #habitats for numerous organisms, forming complex macro#ecosystems, e.g., the #leaves, where #aphids feed, while the #ant #Formica #fusca is collecting their excretions (honeydew) as food.

The pink #tansyaphid #Metopeurum #fuscoviride is native to Europe and prefers forming large #colonies on #tansy #Tanacetum #vulgare.This aphid is very attractive for #ants, as one aphid has a high #honeydew #production with in average 1 milligram of honeydew per hour. Authors M. K. Fischer et al. (2002) found the #aminoacid #concentration in honeydew increasing with #aphid age.

Benefits of work from home days, harvesting from my garden on lunch break 👩🌾🍈
My first #galia #cantaloupe #harvest 🥰
It's super juicy, sweet & delicious!Galia is a type of cantaloupe that's a cross between a cantaloupe & a honeydew. The fruit is light green on the inside, when ripened.

I got around to storing most of the seeds. They had been drying for .. a while. Plenty of seeds but a lot less than expected for some. The big saved cucumbers had very few seeds in them and the San Marzano were almost seedless. Cucumbers could be crossed with each other which is ok, and the honeydew and MN midget could cross but again that would be ok too.
