About the snails, you can put crumbled eggshells around. Ot works great to protect the strawberries here.

Plus I was talking about the beach... are there murder spiders on the beach? Wait, what am I saying, it's Australia. 11 minutes ago, CassieQ said: Everything in Australia is meant to kill you.

Instead, I have to figure out where the cleaning lady put all my stuff. I told her that my worktable was the ONE place I didn't want her to touch, then I come home and she just stuffed everything into boxes and piles. This is a nightmare. That is definitely grounds for firing her ass. Unless she's a real sweetheart. I wouldn't like someone touching my desk... ugh 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raven1 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 2 hours ago, spike382 said: What’s seasonal in your area Terry? Fruits are very seasonal here for most , but some grow year round. Most other vegetables and plants grow year round. Most flowers grow year round, except for those on trees that produce some sort of fruit. Seasons are identified by the amount of rain, rather than length of day. Trees do lose their leaves once a year, but when is determined by species. Almost all shrubs have leaves year round. Climate zones only differ in the heights above sea level. Jungle forests change to pine forests as you get high on the highest mountains. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those beautiful beaches and there's murder snakes, murder sharks, and murder SNAILS. @Bucket1, how do you deal with it? When you see a sea snake, you get out of the water very quickly… When you see a shark, you punch it in the face… and get out of the water… When you see a snail, you don't touch… And the same goes for the blue ring octopus… no touching… it paralyses you but you remain conscious… now we know you continue CPR 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
