I finally got a day that I had enough time to mow around the pond. Strong north wind, so whenever the discharge on the mower faced north I got a grass clipping bath. One trip I got a facefull and wiped off my forehead. It wasn't grass, it was either a bee or wasp. Yep, got nailed.
About 10 minutes later I was in the same area, a bug landed on my left hand and just as I was brushing it off (without looking) I got nailed again. About 1/2 dzn "somethings" were flying around and as soon as I felt one land I'd brush it off as fast as I could as I was trying to push the "Lets get outta here as fast as we can" pedal through the floor of the mower.....
Going to spray the area with a hot mix of Diquat and then Wednesday night I'm going to have a bonfire..... By tomorrow the plants will be brown.
