What did you do in the garden today?

It's is a good blood thinner.

Keeps these away, too

Vampires prefer thick blood

But does garlic work on these blood suckers?

I can verify that No, despite eating approximately 1 Garlic bulb per week, the mosquitoes eat me anyway.


All of our gardening efforts this year have been keeping the neighbors goats away from our potted plants. They LOVE the Shampoo Ginger, poor stuff keeps trying to grow back and the goats lean on the protective fencing and stretch through until they get the leaves off

From what picture I could find the casters look like a standard part. Take one of the good casters to HomeDepot or Lowes and see if they can find a match.

Or maybe it's new enough to still be under warranty, and you could go that route.

Home Depot/Lowes is probably my best bet in that case, I don’t remember it having a warranty.

I stayed away bc apparently bite can be bad -worse pain than a wasp sting, although not really toxic. But, they are beneficial bc the generally attack pests. Of course, I had the hebejeebeez when it must have flown away/climbed elsewhere and I couldn’t find it. Yes, I used the window reflection to make sure it wasn’t on me

Very cool bug. Have never seen one before.

Electric fence, perhaps?

We finally got some rain yesterday. The tomatoes are still alive but not one bloom and all I can think is they hate the blazing heat too.
Got 1 cucumber off new vines!
Trying to pickle some eggs we got and I realized you can’t shell boiled fresh eggs wo them coming apart.
I decided to let the vinegar do work of dissolving shell and now I don’t want to put lid on bc of all bubbles/pressure build up!

Google instant pot boiled eggs. They peel nicely.

And if they’re not, then it didn’t matter that you didn’t get to it right away.

We only wish that is always case, right?

Last October at Walmart they were selling whole Hogs heads. I didn't notice the hogs head, I was busy reading my shopping list. Jerry picked up the hogs head and held it about 5 inches away from my face. When I looked up and saw the hogs head I gave out a very loud YELP. Everyone stared at me, I think they thought I was crazy. View attachment 3932776

Oz has hogs, then, huh?

Or your local Ace hardware.
