Q:I have a small home garden. I planted some purple passion spinach. Its growing beautifully, and I have three plants. The problem is there are these little green caterpillars that are eating it all! I noticed it on a fee leaves a while ago but didn't mind a leaf here or there. But they are eating it all now. Today, I harvested leaves from the plants and I had to throw hlalf of them away!!! I picked all of the big leaves and removed all of the caterpillars (its growing in a container) and killed them, some I threw away with the leaves. What do I do? I really don't want to put a pesticide on my food. Is there an organic or home remedy I can use?? Also, they are not eating any of my other plants.

You could always introduce a predatory pest into your garden, such as lizards, frogs or wasps. That will control the caterpillar population for sure. Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) can be used for controlling caterpillars. It’s probably the number one way of getting rid of caterpillars. It’s a bacteria that infects and kills caterpillars by destroying the lining of the guts. It is effective only on caterpillars and will not harm anything else. Just spray on foliage and let them eat it. Be sure to buy BTK (the “K” stands for kurstaki).

Q:As a college student, the daily trips to Starbucks are breaking my bank. I would like to purchase an espresso machine for myself. I would prefer to spend under $100. I know that this won't allow me to get the best quality, but it's the most I am able to spend. I really only need to be able to steam the milk and produce 1-2 shots of espresso at a time. If anyone has an espresso machine that they love/hate, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or advice. Thank you.

you can easily froth milk with a pan and a whisk (I do it all the time for large groups. Frothing milk is also possible with a french press (makes some of the best coffee useful for tea as well), just put in cold milk plunge repeatedly.

Either way the result is death, so do both. Leave lots in the garden and pick a few for inside your home. Then you have the best of both worlds. Even better, dry some of the flowers to preserve them.
