Which BYC member scares you?

I love hostas. I keep meaning to get some to plant in the front bed under the tree. They are hard to find down here.

That is such a bizarre concept to me. They are EVERYWHERE around here.

How did you get a moving picture of my sex life?

Let's not even go there

I love hostas. I keep meaning to get some to plant in the front bed under the tree. They are hard to find down here. I wish I could pay someone to come landscape everything and get the beds looking good and then I could maintain them. I love gardening, but I do not like trying to prepare a flower bed that some idiot put gravel in. I need to redo the one by the garage completely. There's just so much crap coming up in it.

I cut all mine down in the front. They were ugly and half-dead and infested with cat briars and blackberry brambles. And all I could imagine was a damn copperhead hanging out in there waiting to get me. So they all got yanked out. Maybe this weekend I'll get the mulch and redo that one.

Ugh snakes! I don't mind them from a distance but I definitely don't want them popping out from under bushes. That was the main reason I cleared out the creek last year. There were so many briars and low hanging bushes that I didn't want my kids near. It's all clear now, so they can go playing in the creeks of their hearts content. No more snake hideouts.

What are we talking about?

So maybe an odd question but do your creeks get leeches in them? I spent some summers when I was a kid playing in various creeks in other states and we always had to keep an eye out for them. No idea how widespread they are though since AZ doesn't get them in the 4 creeks we have that actually flow

I've never seen any. And the kids have played in it consistently when it's warm.
We see water snakes, frogs, salamanders, fish...

We have leeches here in every type of water body. Heck - I bet they're even in mud puddles.

Where do y'all find them? I don't think my local Walmart has any.

I don't mind them if they don't surprise me. I don't like being jump scared. And I don't like running into one in a tight space when it's dark or I'm not in appropriate footwear. I settle for mud boots since winged sandals aren't really a thing.

Oh, I thought we were talking about getting lucky.

Ewwwwww! Icky. No. I don't think I've ever seen one in real life.

Ick.

Well, we were, but I thought that was self-explanatory.

You haven't really enjoyed the great outdoors until you're burning a leech off.

Burning?
