From: Stilly River Sage Lesson learned - every year I resolve that I will get out early and deal with the weeds in the garden, so next year's bed preparations will be easier. And I never manage it. Someone (we don't know who) said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results." So each year I look at my garden and hope that I'll finish the work and leave it easier to approach next year. But shit happens, it gets hot, and there's always tomorrow. SRS |

You gotta be kidding me! An old lesson is that a Farmall H, or a John Deere 60, can't outrun an angry hornet (or a Hudson Hornet). |

02 May 12 - 02:32 PM (#3346183) Subject: RE: BS: Old lessons relearned... From: gnu The hornets will attack whatever attacked them becuase when a hornet is killed it releases a pheromone that incites other hornets to attack whatever that pheromone is on. One good reason not to kill a hornet that is on you if you can brush it off. In any case, park the tractor and run. |
