Posted by Red in Carrots and Bananas, what's your rant for the day? on 2017-09-21 19:56:48
rants: having to deal with morons like this... Watch the video / read the blog here This exact scenario is how Toller broke four bones in her leg, and why she is now a three legged dog. I am absolutely fuming there is no way to report dog owners like this, and it's responsible dog owners (and their dogs) who end up paying the price :'(

Isn't nature wonderful! We are lucky in the UK that the majority of our insects are pretty safe compared to other countries!

Thats such a shame about your special wasps Kate. We had a huge looking wasp on our budlia bush this year. at first we thought it was a hornet Jay and I took pictures and googled it and discovered it was a hornet mimic hoverfly

Fabulous, Red...are you sharing all this with people who have similar problems? It must be such a beacon of hope for them. You're brave, clever and funny - keep writing about this and getting it out there. I'm so glad your life is on the up at last.

Glad the nettles took CC but you might be cursing getting them if you ever want to dig up the roots. One plant almost broke my back trying to get all the roots up when we did the fruiting area. Got a bit more orange coming in that Pumpkin Lynn so am hoping for the best I do love a bit of pumpkin pie and we dont seemed to have the canned pulp over here. I bet the well water is super cold when you pump it up Lynn. My Gran used to have a well and I used to love a glass of it straight from the pump, It almost froze your teeth and had its own special fresh taste and smell.

My best: So within the last few weeks, me and Lyle have been rocking life! That sounds weird, but for 18 months I couldn't go anywhere. I didn't leave the village, I couldn't travel, I couldn't even go in shops. If I tried, I would have back-to-back seizures. But we found ways to manage my seizures ourselves (because y'know the NHS isn't going to help!); CBD oil has taken my seizures down from 30 a day to 15, polarized lenses mean I am able to go on buses / trains and into shops - I still have seizures, but they're manageable and don't leave me messed up for hours. A wide brimmed hat is also hugely helpful. If I need to sit or lie down whilst out to recover, I will. It's only been the past month we've been able to have a life, and...

We are on a well system, CC..but as long as there are glaciers on Mt. Rainier, we will be alright it's 120ft deep. We still have had no real rain yet, so still dragging water hoses around. It is getting cooler and we should have rain next week (crossing fingers). I'd love a monsoon, Kate..LOL. NN, I hope your pumpkin will be ripe in time..it looks good.

Absolutely! You should be doing craft fairs - you'd make a fortune. I see things half as good as that going for a lot of money...

Ha ha!! My garden seems to be full of them too. For a few years now we've had a variety of wasp (that isn't really a wasp) living in the railway sleepers that hold the garden back. They've been burrowing and expanding for about 4 or 5 years, but this year they haven't appeared. I did see some real wasps trying to get in through their access holes at the end of the summer last year, so don't know if they ate all of the young. Sweet dreams Ben!!

At last we have managed to convert our overgrown Vegetable garden into a mini orchard, crikey it was hard work. But now its looking neat and tidy with three new trees spring bulbs and a few little mini cyclamen plants under each tree that I hope will acclimatise. I just hope the birds dont eat all the grass seed I can not wait to see it when it has greened up and the bulbs are blooming xx

Wow Lynn, that's terrible. We had monsoon-like rain both today and yesterday, and tomorrow's forecast is the same. Just seen the awful devastation caused by Hurricane Irma - unbelievable how different the weather is around the planet. thoughts are with all those affected.
