I noticed that the mikan in my backyard has all its leaves eaten up by locusts last year... poor thing just sits there like a naked stick now.
So I made a little cage for it with netting, hoping that it keeps the hungry bugs out at least until it gets big enough to afford being chewed on.

Here is a picture of the mikan plot by the way. The ground cover is getting thicker now. Looks good at least for now.

Oh... and last night my black chicken died so I buried it this morning. It had been sick for 2-3 days. The other chicks noticed it was sick at the same time as I did, and they started attacking her real viciously. So I separated her from the others and kept her in a private cage with water and food in shade. I figured that even if she won't recover from illness, she doesn't have to be picked to death. She ate a little bit and tried moving around a little but those 2-3 days in her own cage she mostly sat and stared.
Rest in peace. Thanks for all the eggs. I hope you had a nice life in my garden.
