What did you do in the garden today?

[OnlySympathy]

I will be joining you. I have been bit 6 times in the past minute and a half

Why can’t I collect some dill seed in peace

 

[OnlySympathy]

I’m not sure why but I wasn’t expecting dill seeds to smell like dill

I don’t know what haying season is, but from May to October I wear nothing but shorts and no show socks or barefoot. They definitely hitchhike a ride into my house on the husband. They’re horrible disease carrying terrors. And I recently found out they’re ARACHNIDS AHHHH!!!! Spiders! Blood sucking spiders!!!

WHOLE HEAD BURROWING blood sucking spiders. Haying season is when I'm out in the fields cutting and baling hay, June to August. Ticks are THICK then.
Dog, deer, Lone Star, and Black Legged - none of them any good.

Just got done hosing down the alpacas and refilling their pool. I also put ice in all their water pails.
The chickens have ice water too.
The biting cattle flies and deer flies, OMG so bad tonight.

Stopped by the garden and grabbed 10 pounds of tomatoes. THEN had some fun with the photo.

I was flossing my front teeth the other day, and a piece broke off. It's hardly visible from the front, but I can feel a ragged hollow edge inside. It's really freaking me out. I wonder if the dentist can fix it with filling.

Yes, they can! I had the very bottom edge of my top two incisors filled and smoothed out. You can't see that anything has been done at all, other than the little rough spots are filled in.

Go to the dentist. You don't want the weakened tooth to break. The little edge fillings weren't cheap (about $440 all together), but fixing a broken tooth would be much more expensive.

Oh yeah we’ve got ALL those disease carriers as well. I’m in the country surrounded by woods so they are definitely prevalent. My husbands like “why don’t you just wear pants?” Uh because I don’t want to sweat to death!

I remember hearing that Avon Skin so Soft was a good mosquito repellent. Don't need it here. No skeeters. But there are a few little deer ticks out in the woods.

The tomatoes and peppers I treated with lime aren't looking any worse, so that's good. I don't expect them to bounce back and grow like crazy but if I see them greening up and growing a little I'll be happy.

The peppers I grew from last year's Hatch pepper from the grocery store must be more tolerant to acidic soil. They've made quite a few pretty good size peppers so far in spite of the soil quality issue, but the plants are still stunted.

I grew up in SW washington. Moclips, aberdeen, West port then silverdale. I remember rowing down the alley in a little row boat to visit friends, there was so much rain. I thought our state bird should've been the mosquito, they were so big and prevalent. One summer we made a contest out of who got the most mosquito bites. I had over a hundred on my little 8 year old body, and I didn't win that contest. What have you done with all the mosquitos!!!! Lol

Rained today. I also saw my first female cucumber blossom! Still no females on the squash.

No water no wild birds within like 10 or 20 miles.
No other birds types here either !
