Well, farm living sure can have its adventurous. Yesterday, Chip (my husband's uncle) killed a 4 foot water moccasin in his yard. Normally, snakes aren't messed with on the farm. But, moccasins are just too aggressive - especially when they're around the house. It was a huge snake. I'm only 4 foot 10, so this snake was almost as long as me. That's pretty big for a water moccasin.
John hates snakes. Since he grew up on the farm, I find this very funny. But, he can't stand them. He's actually bought Snake-Away (which I think is just a gimmick) to spread around the house. It's just crushed up moth balls, but it makes him feel better. Whatever works for him.
How Does My Garden Grow?
- Emily
- Micanopy, FL
- I'm the communications coordinator for the UF/IFAS Center for Landscape Conservation and Ecology. A self proclaimed "brown thumb," I've come to believe my brown thumb just needs a little fertilizer. I garden in the early evening - usually followed by the kids (Will, 6, and Kaity, 4)and dogs (Max and Tebow). I do most of the dreaming in the garden and then talk my husband, John, into doing the heavy labor. My gardening zone is 8b and/or 9a depending on the season.
