I wish they would approve the release of the genetically modified mosquitoes that are infertile. The damn things aren't native anyway so there would be no disruption to the native food chain, except they don't get to eat ME!

Speaking of evolving into Jurassic Park, Texans have been finding rattlesnakes that have ditched their rattle to adapt against natural predators. LoL

NOOOOOOOOOOO...!
 
Just waiting for Vector Control to get moving! In the meantime, I gotta do something.
 
Funny random thing happened today. I was in my bathroom and I looked down in the sink and saw a tiny little sprout poking it’s head out from the drain! It was tiny and pale, but what a little fighter. One of the seeds must’ve fallen down the drain and sprouted itself :thedoubletake:
Can you believe that!?! :laughtwo:
 
Holy cow! I can only imagine what else is down there if running the water didn't wash it away! Time to transplant :).
 
LOLOLOL! He'll take the trunk and make it into a deck :).
 
Oh, I wanted to tie the mosquito conversation back to plants for minute (not the drain kind though...), and say that my skin salve is a godsend for all the bites we get. Nothing I have ever used for the itch of mosquito bites lasts as long as my stuff. It takes a few minutes to work, so you have to have faith. But then you forget you ever got bitten. Even after it rubs off on the sheets...no itch all night long and into the morning.

We have used one of those things you mention. I think. If it’s what I think you ere describing, it works fairly well. Not 100%, but good enough to enjoy our deck. It catches months and other insects as well though. We often open up and let everything out before we go inside! :laughtwo: Not always tho, and less and less. SO now it fills up with dead bugs. I have been known to use them in soil mixes and put them on the garden - insect frass is good.

It’s going to be my next ‘cannamed’ learning curve, the salve. Just have to start collecting. I have some stems already...

The ones that tend to collect moths tend to be light based as an attractant, which doesn't work on mosquitoes. Lots of other bugs are attracted to light, just not those bloodsuckers.

There's no real learning curve to it! I found that cutting the stems and roots into smaller pieces was the hardest part of the process. That and finding a place to store everything while I wait to make my next batch...

Rain? Oh yeah, that thing I don't have to think about until the end of November :).

It took me a while to find today's update. It's too bad there wasn't an easier way to find it, like a link or something like that.

The reason you couldn't find the update is even simpler than that...there wasn't one! At least not a plant-related one.

But if you missed the beginning of the mosquito discussion, it's here!
