Catchup Series 1: Salamanders

   It’s been a LONG time since I’ve updated... Anything really. So I thought I would take the time and over the next few weeks I would update you guys on all of the stuff that has been happening in the garden. First thing, we have guests:

   Salamanders! These guys were everywhere under my sweet potato plants. These guys are a good sign. First, because there were so many, that means they were eating the bugs that could have caused disease to the plant. Second, these guys are REALLY cool. I did some digging and found out that they are Arboreal Salamanders. They get that name because they are generally found at the base of trees. They can breathe underwater, and don't have lungs or gills. They breathe through their skin! It's pretty amazing what these little guys can do.
