I keep my organic bug spray close at hand. I learned that most spiders, if they walk across something that's been sprayed with something bad for them, they later lick it off their feet when they are cleaning themselves, and they die that way. BUT, and a big but - black widows are dirty and don't clean themselves, so you have to spray directly on them.<br />I've learned much more about spiders than I ever cared to know.<br />Meyer lemons - yum. They are my favorites. When I used to live in snow country I grew them in my greenhouse so I could have some all year round. Tomatoes too. My two favorites.Jeanhttp://onlygreenhousereviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-64562726301451907302009-08-31T22:48:59.055-07:002009-08-31T22:48:59.055-07:00I think your kitties are waiting at the back door ...I think your kitties are waiting at the back door for a little piece of ham!Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103147036006909055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-53924845447532550472009-08-30T07:57:37.261-07:002009-08-30T07:57:37.261-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.♥Mimi♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/02962332639467877386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-82585854873836691882009-08-28T04:16:28.108-07:002009-08-28T04:16:28.108-07:00Just found your blog and I see many friends among ...Just found your blog and I see many friends among the commentors.

After months of waiting, I was rewarded with three little tomatoes. Two have been harvested and eaten. the other is still ripening.

Sounds like you have a lot of goodies to harvest! My mom is growing bell peppers and a recent storm blew them right onto the ground. They were like little baby bell peppers and we made teeny tiny little stuffed bell peppers. They were so cute!
