Costly Underestimate...

We are trying to garden organically. I've mentioned the Mexican bean beetle larvae that are collecting ghetto style on the beans....well, in order to avoid using chemicals, Darren decided to enlist the children as "bounty hunters'. Their job would be to collect all bad bugs in the garden and then be paid 10 cents for each bug. They were excited to get started this morning. In no time, they were bringing their bags to show me how much they had caught. I laid them outside on the table and began doing a rough estimate. Malachi had about 200, Jacob and Sarah had about 100 each. I think we might've underestimated their bounty hunting skills :) That was only one row of beans too! We have four. Needless to say, Darren may need to do a little refiguring! We'll see.....
