Made friends with some of the local fauna today... the little sad face in the eyes is pretty creepy.

My son and I busted up the front porch steps on my remodel project. Ouch, not as easy as it used to be! Probably better for a younger guy. Now I will build a cool deck across the front of the house. Now that the tough part is done, I'll enjoy the rest of this phase! 2 brownies will beat back the pain and get me back in the right head!
Jack Hammer is not a real friend of mine!

Crawled through a fire ant bed while thinning okra.
I hate fire ant more than I hate ticks and I really hate ticks, especially the ball suckers!

Hauled up the basement stairs a washing machine and dryer, then brought down new ones. My old azz did it alone with a hand dolly. Then installed them. At least the install was an easy swap. Im exhausted. Now i get to pot clones in the garden this evening.

The summer of 25 was horrendous for ticks. I'd find a dozen on me every time I went to the farm. Don't think I've found a dozen all year this summer. That 6 feet of snow we got in mid-March didn't do them any favors I don't think. I didn't like the snow at the time but if it knocks down the ticks like that, I'm all for it. I hate them disease ridden things so much.

Thankfully I've never seen fire ants. But I did have a colony of black ants move into one of my 20-gallon pots in the swamp. They killed the plant that was in there. Had no root ball, not sure if they were eating the roots or what but it just kept getting worse and worse until it was a goner. Couldn't keep any moisture in it either.

Today I’m pruning outdoor plants!

Goals: Improve overall shape to minimize larf, and open up the center to prevent airflow problems (mold & mildew).

These two plants were pruned to the max.
It always looks too extreme at first, but they always bounce back beautifully.

Removing large branches is fine at this stage.
It becomes more risky after they start flowering.
