Welcome to new member georgianbay, from Victoria Harbour ON
Hi hi hi!
Just wanted to point out that there is nothing wrong with being addicted. That's what I keep telling myself anyway....
But welcome!
Oops - I did the welcome thing in reply to her first post before I saw this thread. But I'll certainly do it again here too.

Erynne is coming up here soon to help get me started.
Confession Time....I have a massive bug phobia I must first overcome if anything is expected to be accomplished by me. I especially have issues with wasps and snails.
Snails are the easy ones. I sprinkle the slug nad snail powder around plants and then they just curl up and die when they scoot across of it. Wasps, on the other hand, make me wwant to go the other way around too. I've heard and seen brown paper bags puffed up in corners of eaves, to makethe wasps think there's already a nest there and they will go away. i use a wasp trap, filled with a cola or something sweet. They crawl in and can't get out. A cheap way to make one it to cut the top of a pop bottle, invert the top and place it back on top ot the bottle. They fly in but don't get out again.
Spiders are my least favourite, and walking through a web is even worse! I do like a crazy woman dance trying ot get it off of me. I'm sure the neighbours wonder what I'm doing....
Your sister will have some ways to help you along I bet, they can be for things like that.
Linda
Linda, sure I'll help her! When it comes to wasps, I will pull her arm and we can run fast together, lol.
I'm not scared of much in the garden but the wasps will have me running for sure. Snails, no problem. I even picked one up last year to inspect it when I caught it enjoying my Tricyrtis.
Now stray pit bulls in my yard is quite another story. Last week I went home for lunch because I forgot to open the vent on my greenhouse. So I get in there and out of the corner of my eye I see movement. I turn and there was this dog, just looking at me. So I close the door and boy was it hot in there. I must have stood in there for a good 7 or 8 mins before this dog left. Needless to say I was drenched, and found out the hardway what it's like to be stuck in an oven, lol. Serves me right for leaving the gate open.
