Aha, I thought so.

Your visitor is Lowly Worm from the Richard Scarry books. But of course, since you have a literary household.

But he seems to have lost his red hat. Maybe I should knit him a new one? He'll catch a cold in the rain. And who are his two brothers?

I fear, alas, that they aren't his brothers at all. I think he's fallen in with bad company. That would explain the recent unacceptable behavior.

Yes, he certainly needs his hat. How else will we tell him apart from the thugs?

I see what you mean. I was wondering how I could tell the good from the bad, but it's obvious: he must be the nice one who quietly stayed on my old plant to finish it. They are the vile thugs who razed my tender new plant

Anyway, they are all three on the old plant now and eating away at everything they find, even the flowers

I will take them to the public park tomorrow. The weather forecast says it will be fair

You are very soft-hearted. I love that.

Me, too. I will kill mosquitoes, though, and wasps, if they sting me.

I tried doing that with the weeds and it didn't work

Just harvesting peas - middling; and the late potatoes - poor to middling.

Blackberries are ripening quickly, so the first ones will be ready into early Sept.

One stalk of sweetcorn, with two corns, trying to ripen but there may not be enough sunshine from now on, but we'll see.....

Maybe if you put a little sign?

WARNING, NO WEEDS ALLOWED BEYOND THIS POINT. TRESPASSERS WILL BE SPRAYED.

Sure .. and what will you do when you go back to the park next weekend -- and they've eaten ALL the leaves there!
And the gendarmes show up at your apartment looking for evidence of harboring dangerous wildlife?
