Anyone ever seen freezing fog, which is what they called it, Feb. 13 before dawn, 24 deg with heavy fog, wrecks throughout every interstate.

 All of a sudden I have these VERY large black and red ant/wasp (without wings) looking bug running about. I have been told they are called cow ants and to beware for they pack a mean bite. Having been here 5 years now theis is the first time I have seen these critters and Id like to have them go back where ever they came from as quickly as possible.  Help please!

Jan The shade cloth looks like will take care of it. I noticed that it looked like you had 4 or 5 vents at the top of your greenhouse but I wasn't sure. My wife would love your tree face, she has four of them on the trees coming up the drive way the grand kids get a kick out of them. Stay cool it's supposed to get real hot this week. For some reason Shawnee has been a little hotter than the City this yr.

Bill I found my shade material and put it over my tomatoes. I posted a pic on my page. Thanks for the reminder!!

 

Ruth, I sure hope we have a decent Fall. This heat is starting to get to everyone!

So very true. All is in his hands. We also got a touch of rain yesterday, my husband and I stood out in it for a touch, if felt so good.  Just brought out the kid in us both.  :)

We got a little rain just north of Shawnee but I still had to water my corn this morning. We just got to Pray for rain and he will answer.

Woofta, what craziness! Its as dry as a popcorn fart and no relief in sight. We did actually get rain today, just enough to make dimples in the dust :)

So far with some help from covered soaker hoses and evening watering the plants are hanging in there. The only draw back I have discovered living in OK is the armidillos are so very happy when I water, gives them a nice cool place to DIG for critters! Augh! They are making a mess of my beds. (thanks for letting me vent I do feel much better now)  :)

Nancy, thank goodness my heucharas are shaded by the almost dead gladiolas. LOL I've just left them there, hoping for something hopeful to show.

 

Years ago I used that sun shade material to shade a section of my garden and had completely forgotten about it. Today the wind has whipped the beach umbrella to where half is folded over the other half. Guess I'll try to fix it when it cools a bit outside.

Nancy, I hope you're staying cool also!

It should be Jan, I got mine at a yard sale a couple of yr.s ago. I can't take credit for the idea I got it from a lady from around Tulsa some where. She is on one of the sites here. Hope it works for you.
