We leave the grasses and flowers in our orchard to grow as long as we can in the spring. This provides food and a home for the good bugs. Their job is to keep the pest species under control so we do not have to spray with organic materials which also kill the good guys and gals. There comes a point when we need good access to pick the fruit. Papa Ramon is back, and he was not happy that the grasses were so high. Roberto went in with his flail mower to make a path for him. There are still plenty of places for the good guys to live in between the trees in the rows.
