I’ve just come in from the first session of pulling up bolted and spoiled lettuce, spinach, and broccoli from the garden. The temperatures in the 90’s are more than the poor plants can take, even with being irrigated daily.
I was pulling up plants to be added to the compost barrel when I suddenly noticed I was being bitten or stung. I found little bitty ants on the spoiled plants, and now running up and down my arms and biting me. I’ve taken some Benedryl, since I’m swelling up in reaction, and I’ll put the ointment on, as well. This adds nicely to the still-pink, still -slightly-raised area remaining from the sting I got from a scorpion last week. I’m beginning to think I’ll have to start wearing body armor and tenting, as bee keepers wear.

It’ll take me another couple of sessions to finish out there, and then I’ll try to get some pics to share with you.
