(It was a fresh planting from the end of June.) I had to bring it into the garage every evening at twilight and then back out in the morning before work. I've also started crumbling up my eggshells and leaving them on the surface of the soil, because I was finding snails on there too and I read somewhere that they don't like to crawl over sharp jagged surfaces. I also moved them to a spot that is getting about half the sun they were before and I am diligently pruning them. They seem relatively happy at the moment!~**Dawn**~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06179560051128719637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9792137.post-41756445682365921252014-08-19T09:44:43.226-04:002014-08-19T09:44:43.226-04:00Love these "roundup" posts!

Still jealous of your homegrown pineapples, and I'm wondering, since you said you were wanting to make pesto, is your basil still thriving? Mine is so pitiful, nearly dead. Too much heat and sun, I think. :)Stacy at Exceedingly Mundanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193142015462051142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9792137.post-60077292890594242432014-08-15T14:23:16.563-04:002014-08-15T14:23:16.563-04:00I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog.

Polite was getting nowhere with her though, and I'll be darned if I was paying a $25 fee I didn't earn, just to keep it off my credit report!~**Dawn**~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06179560051128719637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9792137.post-71124291522337470422014-08-15T11:40:11.117-04:002014-08-15T11:40:11.117-04:00I think Ann/Anne may have some bad karma coming he...I think Ann/Anne may have some bad karma coming her way.
