    Tricks you can do in the garden

    Here is something I ran across in a garden book. Use those sticky traps in the garden to catch insects. I have some that I use to catch the rodents and they work really well, so why not in the garden. Take a wood dowel or good size stick and attack a clothes pin to it, I uses a zip tie. Clip the sticky glue trap to it and set it in the ground next to your plants. Also you can use sticky fly tape traps too.

    What kind of garden trick can you share?

    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.

    Dilute Louisiana hot sauce with water 20:1, put in a spray bottle and spray your plants. It'll keep the bugs at bay!
    Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775

    Quo Vadis?

    Luke 22:36, And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    that may be, but then I'd be out there eating my raw plants
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Here is an idea on what to do with your after Halloween pumpkin. Fill with dirt and plant some seeds.
