Today some of the beauties will be out for a few hours. The weather forecast is 20°C, no rain but a bit windy. I hope that is ok for the chillies. I also put the flowering plants outside. Fingers crossed the bees will find them.
Back from garden centre.
Winds blew me over, into laurel bushes, on my way to backyard. I didn't fall to the ground, the bush caught me. I'm not injured. I get knocked over in high winds often & have to walk with safety help(when someone is available) to avoid falling to the ground & getting injured.
The sun emerged for an hour.
I went to get stakes & also picked up a pre-order of chicken feed for a neighbour who has a sprained ankle & unable to drive for awhile.
Hmm, I should know what this weed is, temporarily adding it to my #mysteryplant list. (Update: this is almost certainly Pseudognaphalium californicum -- California Rabbit-Tobacco) #plants
AHA! This is why my pants smell like they have been curried after hiking!
"dried rabbit tobacco (Pseudonaphalium californicum), which already smells and taste like a curry blend"
#DeathCamas - all parts of plant are #toxic & shouldn't be handled. Only bee that can tolerate its toxins is the specialist mining bee. Toxic to animals, especially sheep. Humans have been poisoned after ingesting bulbs; kids have been poisoned after ingesting flowers & flower buds.
