Yeah, my tomatoes are doing terribly but I never saw aphids on them. Could they be damaging roots? Them or some other ant livestock?

Ok, I'll try that first. Any ideas for plan B?

So turns out there's an anthill with an aphid farm in my tomato bed. What do I do?

Was it River who said that fertilizing is just trying to recreate decomposing corpses in the ground without the actual murder?

Why does this even need to be said?

CDC warns against kissing small turtles over salmonella risk

The other week, it was a woman who for a fever from trying to give mouth to mouth to an injured wild bunny. Now it's turtles.

Oh, good point. My raspberry is a clumping kind, not the brambles kind, but it already has a nice little row of babies.

Maybe some pretty plants that grow food? My neighbors planted a pomegranate, and the flowers are beautiful. Although it's probably a warm-climate plant.

Your new yard sounds wonderful. And the blueberry bushes I've seen also look very nice.

This is what happens when people overestimate what ChatGPT can do. [emoji14]

Thank you, Lali!

I would literally not survive that kind of heat if I had to be outside. We finally hit 80F and I'm wilting. My mom, only 20 miles away is over 100F. We are very fortunate that her AC unit went out a month ago, before the heat started, so they replaced it abd didn't have any interruptions on hot day...

In my experience, mostly whacking it back so it doesn't take over.

Of course it's Florida. Central Florida is a hot spot for leprosy, report says The concerning part is that they can't trace how the patient contracted the disease, which means it's endemic in the population. But not too concerning, because the disease does not spreads readily and is very treatable. ...

Good call! We are currently within a strip about 5 miles wide where the weather was not scorching last week. This week, we'll be below 70F until Friday, which is how I like it.

Probably was some sort of an undead spider. There are wolf spiders, maybe this one's a werewolf spider. [emoji191] [emoji888]

Are you going to share the methodology that led you to this conclusion?

What do they think it's going to float on, sulfuric acid? The hubris of these people and the fact that they are not hiding in a deep hole, ashamed to show their faces.

Assuming NYP didn't make it up.

Not if you empty the vacuum before you take it inside.

Very scary!

Watermelons are berries.

Jude, was it just regular soap? Or a special one? (I think I asked that before...)

I have aphids on roses. Vaseline is worth trying.
