It will still get done Willmark….get some of your fam do the watering and feel accomplished directing traffic..... We have had some nice 78 degree days but tomorrow back to 90, think its been over two weeks since it rained here but 80% chance tomorrow night into Wednesday. PLEASE!!!!
Are you sure you’re NOT Mrs Willmark with that comment?Hope it passes quickly and that you behave so that it might......
A bat colony is on my list.Bats eat a ton of them.....have not invested in a bat house....but they live across street in a wooded area....must remember to send them invite to my backyard!!!
Minnie I don't mind the bees as they usually practice social distancing! Although a week ago a huge bumble bee kept hovering around DH outside all during dinner, kept leaving and returning....the next day I opened the umbrella on table and there resting on inside was huge bee, and I assume it was same in same area where DH had been sitting.....when I flapped the umbrella he did not budge, so I took a broom and Gently nudged him and he fell to ground, a few minutes crawled into the vinca vines on ground. Maybe he was bothered DH was sitting there as he sleeps under umbrella when tired and darn his cozy spot was not prepared for him yet. It was very odd behavior for a bee they usually put us on ignore.....
But they are both necessary and helpful to our gardens.....I do understand though my MIL carries an EpiPen wherever she goes.....she has bad reactions.....yet I have never been stung thank God....I did step on a dead one on driveway and got the stinger in foot.....was painful but did not get too bad.
They are free to eat the menace snow on the mountain in same food family. I still have not seen my first monarch butterfly yet.....but they have been spotted in nearby communities so still keeping an eye out!!!
….she said they would not be getting more from vendor. BUT my old mulch will still function and Martha Stewart is not coming for a photo shoot...…
Loads of other things to do, I am doubly bummed because its like 52 out this morning which I was thinking perfect day for a mulch spread.....I am curious if I show up there in person if they have some stock left....... Enjoy the weekend!
Have been picking tomatoes like crazy wife has made salsa and today she will be making a bog pot of marinara sauce to can. Harvested the garlic a couple of days ago it's drying in the green house, picked the last of the green beans gotten too hot for them. Surprising the kale is still growing. Lost 2 eggplants to bacteria wilt, have 2 plants left that are just starting to produce --hope they don't get the wilt. Have had rain the last 2 days don't need any more but supposed to rain today. Cooled off some 66 this morning.Well it did finally rain the other day, think it was little over an inch from the notice of my rain barrel levels which did not get totally filled, and I am thankful. The mulch delivery just called and said they went to fill it yesterday and are out, and not getting any more from that vendor.....darn. She offered dark brown or red, but I like natural non dyed color I already got some of! She even offered 4 extra bags free but not. I wish they would have pulled it a couple weeks ago when ordered and set aside but it is what it is....nearest stores with stock are in other states....
Hope everyone's gardens are doing well.....
Jealous that you have garden fresh tomatoes already.
I hope you're feeling better and being good
Yes, we freeze the extra blueberries pick them don't wash and put them in zip lock freezer bags. Wife makes blueberry jell/jam and blueberry syrup and blueberry pies (one of my favorites)Yup.....always something. Do you freeze your extra blueberries? MIL does and then pops them into baking and oatmeal throughout'winter. Just was outside picking some more sawfly larvae off climbing rose. Sally Holmes antique climber. This is a huge one mine is small growing up a trellis. You have to turn leaves over to find critters, but can see the damage from above most of time.
