If they do a version in MILK chocolate (with almond shingles, perhaps?), I'm so there! :D

Bt is highly effective against those guys. You may need to do a couple sprays. It takes them awhile to die because they need to eat enough of the Bt on the leaves. Bt is very safe for all non-pillars, probably a lot safer than the organocide. Scott

2Qs: another round of fertilizer? & vacation
Q
Comments (1)
Not mowing on the vacation would be a good thing. Neglected grass always does well if it's too long, rather than too short. On the fertilizer front, I'd give it a half-application of Milorganite, or other sewage-sludge based fertilizer. It won't burn the lawn, and adds organic material. The Milorganite brand also adds 4% iron, which will darken the green on the lawn. When you get back, you want a dry lawn. If it rained recently, then wait a day. Mow the lawn, at it's highest mower setting, going north-south. A full day later, mow again, on the highest setting, going east-west. There will be some bigger mulch pieces left on the lawn, after the first mowing, that the second mowing will take care of. After that second mowing, water the heck out of it, if it's dry.

Going on vacation- what to do with cat?
Q
Comments (13)
I agree.........although some cats crave contact with humans on a regular basis, it's often with select humans and not humans in general. Cats are very sensitive to their surroundings and often do better without their humans in familiar surroundings than in unfamiliar territory with humans they do know (like visiting at the vets) or worse yet, in unfamiliar surroundings with unfamiliar people. What you may consider is to give your vet a head's up that your cat may be brought in by another party if needed and he/she has the authority to do it for care or boarding. Then let your neighbor take over. It may fly very well and he'll have no difficulties. If he does, however, he can take the cat to the vet for boarding with your prior permission. If this happens, the cat may stop eating for awhile and do their separation thing, but it would be monitored and they won't let the situation get too out of hand. The important thing for a twelve day hiatus, is that the person whom you trust to feed your cat is completely trustworthy to actually come in and do it on a daily basis. You may want to take their phone number and make a call every three days to monitor their success. I have routinely done this for my daughter and her spouse when they travel out of country, and even though the cats know me well..........they will do the hiding routine for the first couple days. So, if your neighbor is not familiar with cat quirks, remind him to check the food dish/water dish/ and contents of the cat's pan to make sure the contents of the appropriate receptacles are either disappearing or accumulating. LOL. He may never even catch sight of the cat, is what I am saying.

"i haven't gotten any emails but thanks for thinking of me! "

That explains it. Would you please email me from this link as soon as you possibly can. I have a pond related question I'm hoping you can answer. Thank you madam.

Good luck on your finals and have a blast on your igloo vacation.

well, i am flattered.

this time it will be a month earlier than when i visited before. so, the temps were a bit on the warm side that year, though more tolerable than illinois humidity. i am expecting cool weather, but not necessarily an ice storm (of course, things do follow me. we will probably have some irreversible weather catastrophe)

i just realized the igloo reference is regarding the original post. i thought you were referring to minnesota. reasonable mistake, but i see my artificial intelligence failed.

so, i checked my profile and the send me messages to my email address using gw forms is checked. i don't know why i am not getting them. i didnt' even get the one i asked for.

Hey FTM, Welcome back to MN! Have a great time in the WILD! I'm putting that on my list of things to do before I'm too old to get around (that may be next year!) Give us a report when you get back.

To the rest of you, MOST of us here in MN don't live in igloos, but alot of us are into chocolate :)

FTM, is the box you're talking about the "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site" one? If not, I'm not sure I know which check you're referring to.

If it IS that one, then it sounds like the problem is pretty random, allowing you to receive some but not others. :( So irritating!

I'm going to need a chocolate igloo vacation (in MN!) soon, too! LOL
