This past weekend.

So, last week I was deadheading my blue butterfly bush and almost grabbed a spider. I have a little arachnophobia so this caused me some alarm. And dancing and flailing of my arms. Thankfully no one saw me but still... It would have been quite entertaining.

So! I managed to get the little spider onto a stick and tossed the stick into the grass thinking that was that.


Unfortunatly this weekend I think I found the same spider back on the same plant. Again i was about to grab the dead flower head to nip it. And again I danced and flailed about.

I also promptly went inside for the rest of that day.

With luck it will have moved on to greener pastures since then and I can go back to making my bush look nice so it can grow more flowers. Because the Clearwing Hummingbird Moth is back and oh so pretty. :3

The art of Killing Plants.

Or more recently Bonsai.

Almost bonsai. potential bonsai. Potensai? Lord knows what to call bonsai before they are true Bonsai.

But this is also the place I will be posting my gardening epic fails and wins. With luck I will have more wins... but I feel that this might not be the case.
