A typical conversation with myself when I am out killing slugs with my ammonia solution…
Where are you hiding today?
How dare you!
Take that!
Ewwww, did I just step on one?
You ate the whole thing?!
Not the bloom!
How can there be so many and I’m out here all the time?
Ah ha, got you mating buggers- two for one spray!
You big black ones are hard to find.
Not used to all you little brown sluggies.
Ah ha! I’m on to your favorite hiding places now.
I may have to resort to slug poison, there are too many of you.
You will not beat me!
What’s newly blooming:
Since all it has done for the past 5 days is rain, I have not worked in the yard a bit and am itching to do so. Though instead, I have been enjoying the bountiful blooms in the garden from the shelter of my home. The colors and textures are wonderful and I am quite impressed with myself and my plant choices, though of course, there is so much I still want to accomplish/move/change.
I have also been enjoying the many birds that visit my garden throughout the day. I particularly have fun watching two finch couples. They visit the thistle feeder throughout the day and also really seem to enjoy the for-get-me-not seeds that are on the stems. I have wanted to sprinkle the spent for-get-me-not stems in my little meadow for next year’s enjoymennt, but it has just been too wet. It’s nice to see the finches enjoying them in the meantime!
