Monday Recap

[nekosensei]

Let's see. What didn't I do today?

First, I did grocery shopping. Afterwards, I went to the hardware store and picked up a couple of odds and ends. One of the things I bought was Shake Away, which is a chemical that is supposed to smell like predator (aka coyote, fox and bobcat) urine. Many thanks to 1koolspud for recommending that! I also got some chicken wire, fertilizer, and a different nozzle for the hose since the original one is broken. And no, doomsey, you're not going to seed it over with grass seed in the fall. I'm trying very hard to not screw this up. (Hey, forestdruid! Do you have any seeds for some really hot peppers I can plant? Maybe if I can successfully grow one of those, doomsey will not give me a hard time this fall. He likes 'em!)

I also weeded some thistle and bramble that was growing in the way back. Later, I should try to try to pull and/or spray some of the creeping charlie that is growing back there. I also trimmed some of the hedges and bushes out front. I'm planning on going on a walk this evening...provided doomsey decides to get his butt out of the chair sometime soon and go with me. Whew! It's been a busy day.

Sorry, I don't have any seeds although I know where to find them for next year. It is really too late to be planting the super hot peppers this season, although I can very likely find small plants in 4" pots if I look in the right places.

As for the creeping charlie, just pull it up. It grows via runners above ground and does not really regenerate from what little rootstock is left. It is edible and actually not too bad - being related to the mints. Try some in a salad, but not after you have sprayed.

Yeah...but does it have a lot of Vitamin K?

Look for Naga Jolokia seeds or plants - having seen him pop pickled habaneros, that's probably the only thing that'd work.
