Summer Sucks
Category: FRED - the garden | Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2006 3:48 am I say this every year, afterall living in Texas where there is more sun than rain can be the pits sometimes, and especially in the last two years. I have not been much of a gardener since early May because of the lack of rain and the spiders in the yard. In the past two months, my yard has gotten a total of 1/2 inch while many areas around us have gotten multi inches. Just a few blocks from us on Tuesday, July 4th, other yards got between 1/2 and 1 inch of rain. My rain gauge would have measured 1/8th inch if I added some to it. If anyone knows of a tried and true, preferrably organic, method of killing spiders I would love to hear about it. Other than stomping on them, I mean. I can do that but they are a sneaky lot, most of the time I do not realize I have a bite until it starts itching more than any mosquito bite I have ever had and a large blister forms on the top of the bite. I am whining I know, but I am also stuck in the house until sometime in the late fall. This blog entry has been viewed 65 times

I have an extermenator (Sp)that come every 3 months he sprays aroung the house and yard as well as the house seem to keep the spiders down and helps with grasshoppers too.
Sorry to hear that you are not able to get as much gardening done as you hoped Toni. I'm gonna do an extra long rain dance today in the hopes that you get a downpour. It's just not fair.
Hope you get some rain soon. Do you know what species of spiders they are?
I would share our rain. We've had four days of it now. Yesterday, it sort of mostly ran downhill to the creek but a couple of days it soaked. We used to live where it would go all around us, too. Can you move everything a few miles either way? dooley Login or register to leave a comment. |
