Edible Landscape

rain :-(

19 years ago

Last three days we've had 1-1/2 inches of rain - trying to get everything transplanted and potted up before winter hits - it's terrible having to work outside when it's sprinkling. At least there hasn't been any wind.

I guess we are going to have a wet type of fall. Haven't had to use it since it's been so dry --- anyone try sluggo or one of the safer slug baits? I'm going to have to put some plants underneath the eaves of the house to protect from so much rain - and that means lower (or on the ground) where the slugs may get to them.

Excuse me, Reinbeaux, but you have SOME NERVE to come around here complaining about a little sprinkling rain. I wish you would mouse your way back on over to the fruit & orchards forum and apologize to that poor Floridian you lit into when she came online after the hurricane. I for one about lost all tolerance for you after that out-from-left-field tirade.

We all have bad days; if you've gone and said something you regret, you need to go back and say you're sorry. If you're NOT sorry, well, I will just know to skip right over any posts under your name to avoid ingesting any more of that kind of poison.
