Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.

So.
I wonder what I was reacting to? Was it this one? (Rub a bit on my arm.) Nope. How about this? Nope.
Experiments!! Not always involved with common sense.
Never did figure it out.
Rubbed all kinds of stuff on myself.

Speaking of experiments;
While living in Florida I ran the mower through a sand pile, walking barefoot behind it. Fire ants were all over my feet inflicting pinpoints of pain. Days later I had tiny pimple spots all over my feet. My brain said "hmm. wonder if it's from the ants? Let's experiment and find out."
I allowed some other ants to bite my feet, and again there were the tiny pustules on my feet. I proclaimed it a successful experiment.
Not sure if that qualifies as knowing you are a permie when... but it is similar to Pearl's blurb!

I had a reason though.
Part of my squash bug strategy this year is to not plant anything in the squash/curcubit family for a while, to starve the overwintered bugs, cut down on the breeding population.
I think these were probably cantaloupes, I don't hot compost, I bury my kitchen waste. Anything that came up from my scraps were things that were from melons that were not worth saving the seeds, as I save seeds obsessively out of my groceries.
Still. I hated to kill them off, even knowing I can't feed the bugs.
I hate killing volunteers.
But I hate the squash beetles more.
I'll keep telling myself that.
I would have potted those babies up ( I am saving cans to do this next year) and sold them for 1.00 each. You didn't kill them, someone now has cantaloupe plants, and you have a bit more money to spend on more seeds. Win/win.

I have the opposite problem...
When you pull Redbud tree babies as invasive weeds.
They are cute for a couple of weeks in the spring,I'll give them that. But then the only other thing they do is throw thousands of seeds.
I want edible. I want trees that are more than one trick ponies.
Fruit trees have flowers at the same time, AND make yummy food for me and the critters.
Out you go, one trick redbuds!
And thinking of invasive, I noticed my sunroots are definitely growing from seed. Volunteers in my garden beds downwind of them. Haven't decided what to do there yet. Don't want them there, but... Hard to pull them as invasive weeds.

I’d like to know how you do that!
