There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Hornworms are squishy feeling and they make lil' clicky sounds.
Also, chickens like hornworms.

Re: Useless Facts
And the longest word typed with only your right hand is phylophyllin. However, although I found that answer several places, but couldn't anywhere find what it means. Hmmm….

Re: Useless Facts
I tried google and kept getting links that said no such definition so I could not find the definition either.

Re: Useless Facts
Spitting the word phylophyllin into phylo & phyllin I get the idea that it may be a group of drugs derived from the same source.

And, I've never quit growing them in all of that time!

OG, I had to take off my shoes to do the math, but I don't think you have been gardening that long.

But, my joints think I have!

I was born into a family that ran what at that time was called a "Truck Farm", which was started by my great grandfather, taken over by my grandfather, and then taken over by my father. And, since WWII was raging when I was born, their vegetables were a critical resource at that time.

I was born in Eden Valley, NY. I can remember my family calling it "the truck farming capital of the world" because of its fertile soil. I remember visiting relatives with huge, lush gardens, and picking tomatoes and strawberries and eating them on the spot. I also remember flower gardens like a maze I could get lost in. I guess that's where the seed was planted in me for my future gardening passion.

I think that would be magic to print out on a 3 D printer IF it can be hinged like that using tape without it breaking apart
