New Photos

Look how big they are!
Beans are still monsters. They are losing some leaves, as well.
The basil and the aloe and the lemon trees are all still doing fine. They just haven't changed much since the last time you saw them, so I didn't bother with a photo.
Fungus Gnat Infestation
AHHHHH! There are TONS of little fungus gnats flying around my plants. I've been killing them in the mornings when they are all looking out the window by spraying them with windex. There is a fungus gnat graveyard on the window ledge. Today I took more steps in the war against them. I've put a piece of raw potato on each plant for the larvae to move into tonight while i sleep. i also put tape along that ledge so the adult gnats will get trapped and die. I have been drying out my plants to keep the larvae from developing so I can kill them with hydrogen peroxide, but a few were looking awfully thirsty, so i watered those with hydrogen peroxide today (one part 3% H2O2 to 4 parts water, in case you need to do this, too). They fizzed. It was neat. I REALLY hope this gets rid of them and I can love them again some more. I did take some more pictures, maybe I will post them tomorrow. The veggies seem to be doing quite well.

I went away for four days and now all my plants are monsters...
Remember the bean sprouts? They are huge!
Happy Earth Day!
How many of these things do you already do? How many will you start doing this year?

Cucumber Sprouts
I saw them yesterday morning before I left for Steve's, but didn't have time to take their picture. You can expect photos when I get home next week.
