    mom chucked them out,, theyre about 3mm across each, and there was frickin hundreds. they span a massive web from the shelf, to the shears, and then from the shears to the lemon tree, and then to another shelf =O

    im not a huge spider fan, but i do like looking at them and watching them and stuff

    They would creep me out! lol I found a huge nest of ants (I know, they usually live in hills) but it was under this stepping stone rock in my flower garden... Thousands of these little guys and they were a light brown. I left the stone where it was. :)

    I like the heart shaped plant, whats it called?

    In the picture with the wild flowers, becareful you don't pick any of the Buttercups (yellow flowers with 5 petals) as they are very poisonous. Wash your hands before you eat...be safe, they look harmless, but are deadly.

    I'm not sure composting poisonous plants is a good idea, not if you plan to eat what grows from the soil its in...

    we dont use the compost for growing stuf.. it doesnt come fine enough, so it just gets chucked on the garden, or around the fruit trees. we buy compost for seedlings and we bought some stuff the other week specifically for veg growing =]

    Very pretty. Love the forgetmenots. Never had any animal poisoning problems with buttercups around here. But then our summers are so hot and dry they only really get established in flower beds.

    I edited out the link. Sorry, can't have links in posts.

    Peace,
