Actively scouting for insect pests in the garden may keep other wildlife out of the garden such as the Mockingbird that recently laid eggs in the top section of a vertical hydroponic system currently growing green beans. Within a week, the four eggs are now one egg with three young birds to keep the parent birds busy. The parents are always close by, sometimes just making a noise but sometimes, they will buzz near your head if you get too close. Mockingbirds are but one of our many Florida State Symbols.
