The Crickets, still Here

When I got up this morning the crickets were gone except for a few.  It was cold all night.  After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  After I got the mail, we had lunch.  I then went out to greenhouse five.  Surprise, the crickets were back.  The temperature was much warmer, and the crickets began to move.  There were thousands of them.  After lunch I began cutting tall wild rye.  It was tall as shoulders.

This a wide path that I made south of greenhouse six.  There were lots of crickets there.
They were even on top of greenhouse six that was painted white.    I also cut grassy weeds in the native garden by the road.   Last year I planted strawberries in a raised bed.  Now they are flowering and have some small strawberries.  The bed was full of wild lettuce plants.  I dug all of them out. I put on the sprinkler and gave them a good watering.   I also watered the garlic plants.  Last year I cut off the stem end of four sweet potatoes and planted them in a raised bed.  I dug one up to see if had started to grow.  It had rotted.  I dug up the other three and the also had rotted.
