Don, very pleasant nature studies....I thoroughly enjoyed them. Don, I know what you mean about gas powered equipment...I always had trouble starting chain saw or weed eater. Now I have a battery powered weed eater. I love it. It only runs about half an hour, but then I'm ready for a break anyway.....the chain saw, I get my son to come over and cut stuff I need. I'm getting too old to be doing that anymore.....
Well, Rich, you deserve to be proud they used your images....although would be nice to be recognized!! It would be awesome to see a huge murmuration of starlings attack and eat all the corn in a day!! Actually that would be awful, but around here, that's what would happen, but then we are so humid, the corn would mold. So, I guess I'll just admire your corn palace from afar!!! Nice photos of it!!
Dave, I have small tomatoes on my plants....but I also am starting to see so many stink bugs! It's going to be a bad year for them. They have ruined my peas......and I have even seen them on the blueberries. I don't like to use pesticides, because we like to go into the garden and munch on stuff....but I am at a loss what to do. I imagine the squash borers will be bad, too. You just can't grow pesticide free stuff here in Maryland with much success.....
Steve, nice looking tomato plants....been doing some mowing myself. I have about 4-5 acres to cut, but been leaving the white clover area for the bees....the weather has been funny this year, and the grass isn't growing as fast or as dense as in past years. Good thing, too. My 19 year old mower broke and my nephew had to put a new engine in it. I was down for about 2 weeks, mostly waiting for the engine ....got her going now!!
My bees must have gotten too hot.....sitting on the front porch of their hive........when they climb over each other like at the bottom, it's called bearding......I need to get them a shade umbrella.....
