I'm ready to scream a four-letter word. 

Pest!

This Wednesday is all about the creatures destroying your garden.

My poor zucchini had a rough start after the drought we had, but it never got a chance to recover – the squash bugs took over and murdered it. I ended up pulling up the plant.

But I got my revenge.

I tossed the dead plant in the chicken run. Mwuhahahahahaha! The girls ate well yesterday.
