What did you do in the garden today?

[BirdsBeesTrees]

@BirdsBeesTrees I get a huge welt when the Asian ones bite, you??

No, but that sounds horrible. I just get blotchy, itchy and red skin.

My eyes swell almost shut: my face, arms and hands get itchy and red and swollen.

That's terrible. I've heard that it's a similar allergy to shellfish. Are you allergic to shellfish?

So, I've been busy as a bee around here. DS and I planted peas and carrots on Monday. On Sunday I got hit by a piece of ply off of the table saw. Yup. I was standing in the line of fire and got hit in the shins. Going to get an X-ray on Friday if the pain doesn't start to fade on the right shin. I can put weight on it but it is almost unbearable to touch and aches constantly. I've also been sleeping way more since it happened. I threw up from delayed pain onset when it happened. Pretty epic. I am ashamed of myself for letting that happen.

It rained here yesterday and Monday evening. Got almost 2 inches. Yay!

My husband's mother said that they were wild ladybugs . I tried to tell her that ladybugs are all wild and the ones that bite are Asian not Native. That's how bad it is with her because she's right ALL the time and EVERYBODY else is wrong. I have been bit by so many bugs, it's not funny. The worst reaction I had was a bee sting but it landed on my thigh, kinda inner, and the dog we had jumped in my lap and landed on it and it stung me. It took me about 3 weeks to get rid of the mark it left.

Hope everything is okay. I've been having problems with hurting myself, not intentionally, but dagnabbit if it doesn't send me into the almost drop to the ground.

Asian lady bugs are everywhere as well as box elder bugs. I need to spray the outside of the house.

I've seen a lot of those too! And flies, in the house! Dang, we NEED a killing frost, here, now. My garden is done, the farmers are cutting the crops; it. can. frost/freeze. now. Our average fall frost here is around September 23.

I thought I was! I just recently went to an allergist, and he did all the tests and said I wasn't allergic to shellfish. I thought I could never eat shrimp again but I'm good to go.
I am allergic to cocoa butter since I was a little kid and now can't even eat white chocolate, or be around ladybugs that's all.

For these hard to kill bugs I use Viper brand insecticide. Ingredient is cypermethrin.
