I don't have any iris seeds but I noticed you were looking for spinach and cantaloupe. I would be willing to trade those two for some hot cherry pepper and cayenne. If that is ok with you

Another garter snake was saved by the canola oil method. Anyway, I opened the garage door this morning and there was a garter snake in a sticky strap. The trap is normally tucked in a 1" deep depression in the corner of the garage. The snake (and trap) were in the middle of the garage when I found it. This snake was a bit bigger than the first one although maybe it was the first one with a monthÂs more growth on it! If it is the original, then itÂs learned not to go to the right corner because it got caught in the trap on the left this time. IÂm sorry the little buggers get caught but IÂm quite willing to do the canola trick to free them. IÂm not inclined to remove the traps. I do not relish the thought of opening a garage cabinet and staring into the face of a snake, even though I am much bigger. Besides, it would be expensive - I would jump back in fright, fall over the weed bucket, hit my head on the concrete, sustain a concussion, and have to make a $50 co-payment at the emergency room!
