On lab legs!
.....having a catapillar issue with the tomatoes, but with the rain, no need to waste the sevin dust to treat them....
.....however, we did have our 1st BLT with our own homegrown mater today....
....Joyce wanted a "vine ripe", but I told her to pick a turning one and put it in the window til completely turned.....went to the store and got some bacon and had it today.....
....I can see why something is eating the help out of them, cause the one we ate sure was Good....
....I need the rain to pause for a little bit so I can get some postholes dug and have to get started building a shelter and pen and a fenced area....plus some small tree removal.....I was planning on starting during the rainy time, but the pauses have been so short ya couldn't get started good before it would sprinkle to downpour again....and the humidity was horrid....dewpnts right around 80...absolutely stifling....
....however, tomorrow will be spent putting the tv antenna up, outside...it is in the attic right now....neighbor is gonna help and provide the pole, and he is leaving this sunday to return to Mass until Oct....so, hoping to be able to get that done tomorrow before it starts raining....
....so, the Big Surprise is.....we have decided to make room for some KC ducks!!!........
......Surprise!!...Surprise!!...Surprise!!....in my best Gomer voice.....
This I did not know...that's pretty cool...almost makes me want one so that I can try this out...almost...If you want to get those tomato hornworms off the plants without pesticides, they glow a nice bright green at night under blacklight
The almost are the tomato worms, I almost want one so I can try...almost....
....the ones we are having trouble with eat a small hole in the green ones as small things and grow inside to a good sized catapillar and eating the contents...when the initial hole area begins to rot it is noticed and pulled....of course the catapillar isn't allowed to return.......Joyce was able to dust this evening and she said that she has seen songbirds eating the ripe ones, so intend to take some measures to curb the "buffet"........oh, I tried the "addage" about the crows...ya know, where ya can hang a dead one to keep others at bay?....well, I tried it with skeeters and it don't work........was out with Gabbie and killed 5 in 1 smack....left them stuck to my leg....and it was like ringing the "dinner bell".....
