FROST! For cryin out loud, I've gotten about 10 emails from the local TV station weather people about frost warnings. I say "Bring it on!"-NOT.
I'm already starting to wonder how I'm going to make it through the winter without driving myself nuts with garden fever. I need to clean out the former platy tank to aquascape it. It is really sweet to be planting up an aquarium in the very dead of winter. And this tank will be solely plants so I can focus on design rather than balancing a tank for the sake of fish.
Enclosed is a photo of some Carpenter Bees happily at work on oregano in my garden. I initially thought they were bumblebees but after more reading, I learned that Bombus have furry hindquarters and these do not. I went out to the telephone pole on the alley to see if there were any of the Carpenters coming and going but I didn't see anything. That pole is so chewed up and full of all kinds of insect holes, I'm betting at least some of them live in it.
