April 2021: Tools Of The Trade & Other Sights
Snikt! Got some gardening to do, bub:Â
This really is my favorite hand tool:Â
Gray squirrel raider:Â
Some variety of weevil on my arm:Â
I relocated the oregano pot & look what was underneath it:Â
This is a defensive maneuver - lock everything in place & be ready to pinch someone with your mandibles. This beetle is commonly called a big-headed ground beetle but its scientific name is scarites subterraneus which sounds way more badass:Â
We picked up some new half barrels to replace our two oldest ones. Fun fact: When the insides of the barrels get wet & the sun warms them, you can smell the whiskey:Â
Old one number one. For those who might be wondering, these barrels last about three seasons here in the Mid-South but they may last a little longer somewhere with less heat & humidity:Â
Old one number two:Â
I weed whack the backyard garden plot but left this stand of white clover alone for now:Â
Our yellow baptisia is starting to bloom:Â
