Any gardeners or farmers here?

Anyone had luck with parasitic wasp cards for caterpillar control?  Cheap at Walmart.  

I like gardening overall but it's stuff like this that really gets me grinning.

Update: I'm serious: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sun-Joe-Live-Trichogramma-1-Square-with-4-000-Eggs/20743898

A new way of thinking about Video Games

So the last two video games I purchased have not gotten very much use. Skyrim, while good, is very time consuming. I don't often have an hour or two to sit and play, and you just can't really get anything done in 15 or 20 minutes in that game. Rocksmith, is a great game for an aspiring guitarist (although humbling too), but unfortunately, in order to really enjoy the game you must turn up the volume. Most of the times that I can play video games are when the boys are sleeping.

That brings us to today's purchase. I was looking for a game that I could play a little at a time, didn't need to have too loud, and if possible, would be entertaining to watch for a child (no blood and guts). That pretty much leaves wii games (Stephen does like to watch Mario in Super Mario Galaxy sometimes), and Sports games. I would have loved to get this years "The Show" (baseball), but alas, I do not have PS3 and it is not available to Xbox. So I thought I'd try Forza 4 (on sale to day @ microsoft for $30). I figured it has great reviews, and Stephen loves cars so it might be good.

Remember when you could just take a Sunday and play video games all morning, then shower, eat lunch and watch football all afternoon?
