Things I've Learned This Week

*  Check to see whether they cause drowsiness or not BEFORE taking someone else's allergy medication.

*  Just because a blueberry bush is more than 2 feet away from the fence people, it doesn't mean they won't somehow destroy it. 

*  Not having a backyard fence for a week makes me feel very exposed.  I'm not ready for the neighbors to know how often I go out in the backyard in my pajamas.

*  We either have highly evolved slugs who have caught on to the beer-trap thing, or else ours have chosen to not drink alcohol for religious or health reasons.

*  Taking down a fence makes WAY more noise than one might think.

*  My gardening organizational skills still need some work.  Last fall, I carefully drew a map showing what type of garlic & how much of each variety I was planting.  Which would be really, really useful, of course, except that I can't find the silly map............

*  Normally, I'm not a huge radish fan, but after a month of salads of just chives, spinach, and 3 types of lettuce, I am REALLY excited to see them finally ready.

*  Andy and I agree on most things, but we take very different stances on birds.  He finds them interesting and would like a bird feeder.  I find them to be little monsters who are always after my garden and would like to feed them to the cats.  We're trying to work through our differences.......

If you get a bird feeder AND continue to let the cats outside, you will be feeding the birds to the cats! The only bird-garden problems I have had are the robins eating strawberries.
