My four mosquito death buckets have been set up in my yard for two weeks now. So how are they doing? Well, that’s not enough time to reduce the adult population of mosquitoes yet, but there are three things we can look at to see if they’re on track.
We’ve been doing the mosquito bucket thing for a few years now, but I never thought to check for eggs and larvae. We just have noticed a dramatic decrease in mosquitos. Interesting to see Allison’s results.
I put out pine straw today and came across three of these DeKay’s brown snakes.
I finished mapping the sunlight for this year’s side steps planting project a few weeks ago, and today I prepped the beds. The only other thing to do between now and fall planting time is to test the drip irrigation.
I have been repeatedly impressed by the marginal wood ferns (dryopteris marginalis) I planted this spring. More than once a fern had lost all its fronds (from falling branches, careless meter readers, etc.), looked dead for weeks, only for fiddleheads to appear seemingly out of nowhere.
