keladry_lupinSpiders: 2 spider bites
Keladry: 8 spiders squashed (including the two I found in my hair)
Other bugs: 6 found crawling on hands, arms, and feet
Keladry: 13 bugs squashed, and 5 snails sent flying back over the fence (can't squash 'em; the sound is too gross)
Rosebush: 18 thorns successfully stuck (OW!)
Keladry: 5 branches successfully pruned
Audrey II (creeping plant): nearly succeeded in eating me alive
Keladry: fought back with shears, gardening gloves, and a really ticked-off attitude
Other potted plants: dead (just to annoy me, no doubt)
Keladry: binned the lot; will get more come spring
I'm half-done with the garden. More to do next Saturday. *faints*
I've decided that this will be a birthday gift for the mother. She's always loved plants and having a garden, but she has a brown thumb. I inherited the brown thumb, but she's sixty and doesn't bend well. (At least I can yank weeds -- or things that look like weeds -- as well as the next person.) Ergo, if Audrey II gets tamed by anyone at all, it's either me or I hire someone to do it for me. (I can barely afford Christmas and birthday presents as it is!) And she'll be thrilled that she has someplace to sit in the fresh air and sunshine.
Really, I meant it in my last post: if anyone has a HazMat suit lying around, I could use it.
