Charlotte’s Farmstand

One of the less fun parts of gardening… squash bugs.

We’re a nature-loving family, and we truly believe every creature has a purpose. Charlotte loves finding bugs in the garden, and we’re always teaching her to appreciate nature. But we also know there are some “bad bugs” when it comes to growing food.

Squash bugs can do a lot of damage to squash, zucchini, pumpkins, and other plants, so we’ve been checking leaves every day, removing eggs by hand, and doing our best to protect the garden without harming the good bugs that help it thrive.

Gardening isn’t just about harvesting vegetables—it’s about learning, problem-solving, and understanding how nature works. Every day brings a new lesson, and we’re grateful Charlotte gets to experience all of it.
