Dumb move corrected... but am I too late?
Comments (5)It probably depends some on what sorts of seedlings you're talking about, but this sounds pretty plausible to me. On the other hand, the cooler temps will lead to stockier seedlings, so sometime soon, as it begins to warm up a little more, you might consider moving them back to the somewhat cooler garage. If you like the idea of using the garage in the future, you could consider a heat mat. I've got a couple of these for seed starting, and they make quite a difference....See MoreA really dumb, dumb, dumb Nepeta quesiton
Comments (31)Nepeta is one of the most carefree long blooming plants there is. I think it's worth a try. I have two cats, and used to have another. None of them took any interest in my nepeta at all, even when I stuck it under their noses. We have ferrel cats in our neighborhood too and I have never seen one around my nepeta. If you do happen to have a cat in the neighborhood that wants to eat it or lay in it, at least it probably won't want to poop there too. Nepeta is easy to propagate. If you carefully pull a stem away from the base, it will already have itty bitty roots attached to it and can grow into a good size plant in one season. Just stick the new starts in a shady place for awhile until they get established. It should be very easy to get nepeta in a plant trade or make your own starts if you purchase a plant. Then if you do happen to have new cats hanging around, you won't have spent much and can rip it all out. I don't think you'll need to. In fact there may be some places in your garden where you can use nepeta as a ground cover instead of loose mulch where I suspect you're finding kitty poo. Cats like to scratch in loose soil, sand, or mulch. They're not likely to poop on top of a plant....See MoreDumb question, I am sure
Comments (5)Next time you find one, check to see if it has, on its back, eggs the size and color of a grain of rice. Often times it will have several. If it does, and you can stand to do so, leave it be for a few days. That is the egg of a wasp. The egg hatches and then the larvae of the wasp devours the worm. Doing it this way ensure that the beneficial wasp lives to kill the next worm you miss....See MoreDumb cane - dumb me!
Comments (6)Me, too, Susan. :-( I needed this like I needed another hole in my head...but I can definitely state that I've learned my lesson when it comes to the dumb cane. It's earned my undying respect. Thank you for reminding me about aloe gel. I need to refresh my supply. Thank you, Rhizo. I hadn't considered the aspirin as I take one 325mg at night for genetic circulatory issues and rarely think about its other benefits. Guess what I'm swallowing as I type this? Yup! And Sheila...the cortisone cream seems to be helping. The skin heat is beginning to subside. I haven't the time to baby this hand so I slathered on the cream and put on a latex free glove so I can continue my household chores. Hopefully, the glove is helping with the cortisone absorption. You're all terrific! Many thanks! Anne...See More- 9 years ago
