Baymule’s Farm Pictures

Nothing eats Texas Bull Nettle. Those things are in a league of their own. I know of no use for them. There are some growing on our property, they have huge deep roots that are the size of a basketball. I am not fond of them at all.

Some people have green houses, I used to until we moved. Actually I live in a area that has huge green house nurseries. All kinds of plants are grown commercially here from trees to bedding plants. Tyler is big on roses and there are rose specialty green houses here.

We went blackberry picking last week, that’s the last of them. They grow on a fence row across from our driveway.

We were leaving this morning and saw this spider web right outside the gate. Got 3 1/4” of rain yesterday and it is real foggy this morning.

I love dung beetles. They do the dirty work around here I have the green irridescent beetles that look like June bugs with a glimmering coat of green paint. I have some black ones that bury dung. This year, these showed up. They roll up a ball of dung, work very hard to roll it where they want it, then bury it. The female lays her egg in it, providing food for the young. Fascinating! I even watched beetles with no rolled up poop of their own, try to steal others hard work ball of poop. There was a fight, the mated pair ran the their off. Dung beetle drama!

Not as fascinating as dung beetles, we picked elderberries for our flu medicine.

I thought he was very pretty. I took it a couple years ago. I've seen quite a few around here since then.
