What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

Okay I’m asking because I just don’t know. There’s alfalfa (acres) fields here (cattle ranchers & feed producers) are you sayin your pulling it up? Like a random patch or a entire field? I could NOT imagine what that job would be like. My body aches just reading your post Lordy!

No it's pop up alfalfa from blown seeds, birds, or my own careless dropping and use of hay. I usually just mow it down, but some is in areas I don't mow, like immediately around the orchard trees.

Those look like mushrooms.

They are, I've just never seen them before.

@MissChick@dee,

I was in the mountains hunting for coyotes. I had on full camo, and I was sitting and waiting for coyotes to come in. The skunk walked up to me, and I assume it did not see me in my camo. Walking straight towards me, I began to panic. Then, it happened. I was sprayed.

Fortunately, in Idaho, skunks are classified as predatory unprotected. I got my revenge.

I probably won't do that again, though. It was an awful smell.

I got home, and I scrubbed myself in the garage with hydrogen peroxide mixed with baking soda. It neutralized the smell, then I took a shower, and scrubbed myself with tomato juice. It worked.

Okay now I’m gonna laugh lol. Poor thing. I can’t imagine how awful. But thanks for the de-stinking recipe. I learn something new everyday!

Night Sky petunia in full bloom.

Also potted up an almond tree I picked up.

The wind after lunch was awful so, not much got done today. I brought my flower seedlings outside for the first time (until it got nasty)
I potted some mums from a cutting I had growing in one of my flower boxes since last summer.

They are alien spy cameras, disguised as mushrooms.

I encounter them regularly. NEVER got sprayed. One time had one rush past me and brush past my pantleg. Rest of my family members are afraid of skunks

I got sprayed by a skunk.

No joke.

@cavemanrich, nice photo! The skunk's must be used to you by now if they're not spraying you.
