when i inhale a fly its time for a freakin beer
miserable little bastages.....i take pleasure in
squashing your exoskeleten buggy little body
crunch!
Got black flies or knats or what ever you want to call them here in Lakeville. Every spring, it is wet in my area. I hate most when they get in your eye and you can't get them out. Usually have mud covered hands when you are trying to dig them out. I swallow plenty of them too. Sometimes I wear a headnet but most of the time I just grin and bear it, but it royally sucks. They leave a nice welt too. Feel bad for my dog. I put up with it because I am as fanatical about gardening as I am fishing, enjoy a shovel and dirt under my fingernails as much as catching keepers and am trying to get all my transplanting out of the way so I can concentrate on fishing. Next to come, although they are here now in small amounts are the mosquito's. Man my area is so bad you can't even go into the shade in the day time or they will carry you away. Again I feel bad for the dog. Got to keep up the heart worm pills. I will be putting in my call to the state for free spraying soon. Paul
I usually wait till Memorial day before I put in any tomatoes, melons, H2o melons, peppers. We had 2 light frost's last week. Besides my seedlings are too small and have not been hardened off yet. Got a late start this year on starting the seeds. I hope for a hot summer for a change. Of course it rained and overcast and cold during the peach and apple blossom bloom so no honey bees to pollinate my peaches and apples again this year. Bumble's working the blueberries hard though, but they ignore the apple trees. That is my preference too. Always can use a few yards of composted cow manure. Neighbors got horses, clydesdales, but much prefer the cow crap. Good growing. Time to fish. Paul
i have big tomatoes growing in pots PM as a back up crop - and put like twenty babies in yesterday to see if they can take it... even the primary leaves of my hardened off broccolli plants turned purple but they survived the last hard frost we had.... i will set up some open top plastic cages soon for some bell peppers and zuchinni this week... a new guy on the JOB dropped my porta cable saw off the roof and broke it...so i was at home depot tonight shelling out 145 clams to replace it....pfff.....yeah like i can wait to have it repaired.
