Your most hated pest this season (besides Japanese beetles)
Comments (23)Oriental beetles. These things - every stinking year - just decimate my daisies and coneflowers, to the point where I'm considering ripping them out. They eat the darn things before they even bloom. They like daylilies too, but with the one-day bloom there is not as much damage done. My coneflowers and daisies look constantly dirty and ratty thanks to these disgusting things. Oh, and they get caught in my hair too. Yuck. Voles are also high on my list, although this year while I have tons more mole tunnels and holes, there has not been as much vole damage. Maybe the voles are finally moving out while the moles are moving in. I can definitely live with mole tunnels in the so-called lawn as long as my plants aren't being eaten from underground! I think Ken is right - the bug population seems to be lower this year than usual. My potatoes are untouched (although perhaps the late planting helped with that), the JB damage was minimal, even though that's not usually a big problem for me anyway, and in general I haven't had too many bug problems this season. :) Dee...See Moretrees you hate that aren't the commonly-hated ones?
Comments (54)I thoroughly dislike eucalyptus globulus (blue gum) and acacia mearnsii (black wattle), but that's because they were invasive where I grew up and the pollen from the black wattles was horrible. I've seen people try to grow eucalyptus in Raleigh and it's a dismal sight. Even I feel it borders on abusive to take a tree that should be evergreen and magestically tall and have this poor, half dead, stumpy thing dripping bark in your garden. I'm not crazy about the native pines in the southeast US, because they all have prickly pine cones. I can't walk in my back garden in bare feet because of all the cones from the loblollies and long leafs (long leaves? LOL)....See Morefavorite working music while canning.
Comments (14)Along with canning, I bake for my local farmers' market each week, so I practically live in the kitchen. I used to watch/listen to Food Network in there. But I recently invested in a cheap little DVD player, and now I can watch movies while I do my food projects. Of course, right now, I am working my way through all the seasons of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' I'm up to the beginning of Season Six. It sounds like a strange choice for a cooking soundtrack, but it works for me! --Gina Here is a link that might be useful: Lindsey's Luscious...See MoreAm I the only one watching Sound of Music?
Comments (13)No Glenda. It's on broadcast ABC. That's Channel 7 WXYZ here. Yeah, Judy. Wizard of Oz, too. Wish I had that video also. Phyllis, that's really exciting. Wish I were there with you all. Sadly, I heard the youngsters later said she was not very nice to them. No elaboration though. Hey, anything that works, Patti. hahaha I wonder what happened to the Von Trapp new generation children. I heard they began performing but that's all I heard. Just read my original post. Tisk. Tisk. Was too busy trying to watch the movie to type. That's my lame story and I'm stickin' to it!...See Morecaflowerluver
