WANTED: handknit baby sweaters,booties,bonnets
Comments (0)I wanted to ask if I'd be allowed to offer up some of my handmade baby gifts in exchange for plants. I tried selling them on ebay but it's too expensive, and my shop on Etsy gets no customers. I have handknit old-fashioned baby sweaters, bonnets, booties and various special needs things I made for some of my pedi patients. (I'm a nurse) Well, I know I can't list the address of my shop, but it's really a lovely little shop so if you'd like the address just email me. I'd love to trade baby stuff for plants or gardening things. Paypal is always nice. I just buy more plants from Ebay with it anyway!...See MoreThis copperhead almost kicked my bootie
Comments (29)We have an inborn natural reaction to snakes, but like some of the posters said above it is a good idea to let the non poisonous snakes live. I know the big chicken/rat snakes look especially scary, but they will repay you for letting them live by keeping the mice and rats under control. Rats are everywhere -- even in the 'nicest' neighborhoods and we could use a little help from the 'real experts' at catching them. From what I've read on the internet copperheads are non aggressive. I knew a family with kids that lived with them out in the woods (lots of them) and were never bothered. However, I'm not saying I wouldn't kill one if it was in my yard if for no other reason then to keep my dog from being bit. We had a dog bitten on the nose. He was uncomfortable, but he recovered in a few days. The coral snakes are especially non agressive and couldn't bite you if they tried. Their little tiny fangs are way back in their mouth and the only bite I could find ever recorded was of a lab technician that stuck his little finger down ones throat. Why he did that I don't know, but even then so little venon was released his finger became swollen and that was it. I stepped on a coral snake barefoot in my back yard and he didn't even try to bite. That's when I did the research. They are so docile children have been known to carry them around and play with them with no harm. I see them occasionally, but just let them live. Too bad that little 'red and yellow kill a fellow' rhyme got started, because they don't. It's good to be aware -- of both the hazards AND THE HELPS that snakes present. Happy gardening everyone!...See MoreHAVE: Wanted: bootie pattern
