Building a sustainable community on an apocalyptic wasteland. Clearly we don't know what we are doing.

Tent catipillars


In recent news, all of our island is at war against an invading army of tent catipillars. You cannot sit for thirty seconds before finding six or so on your person, and the trunks of trees are highways with literally thousands of fuzzy vehicles stuck in rush hour traffic.

 Though not a typical garden pest, the catipillars have eaten 90% of the decidious trees on island, and have now resorted to our strawberries, cabbage, and a few other unfortunate veggies. Despite countless capture-and-smash-with-rock missions, the catipillars still managed to strip our infant apple tree of everything but it's bark. The plum tree has lost about half it's leaves, but still lives, and the tiny plums on it are still growing. Rumour has it, the catipillars are only going to be around for another 2 weeks, hopefully we can pull through
