Hickory Horned Devil

I should probably add this baby to a gallery for my orchids and gardening website, but for now, I’ll just post it here.  We found this hickory horned devil at the base of our huge ash tree.  It’s stage 5-instar, so it was probably looking to burrow into the ground to pupate for the winter.  […]

Garden Harvest

This time of year, harvesting the fruits and veggies is a daily task.  I went out at 8 am, to do harvest duty.  I got a few peppers (yellow banana, and cayenne), two eggplants, a handful of cherry tomatoes, and another handful of Kentucky Wonder green beans.  Many more peppers can be picked any time […]

It’s about veggie gardening at our new house, so skip it if you couldn’t care less.  You won’t hurt my feelings in the least.  That’s not why people visit The Rusty Nail, anyway. I had to change the blog theme, since the one I liked a lot, and originally installed, refused to format multiple paragraphs […]

A funny thing happened on the way to the orchids.  Some of you may know that my brother died roughly a year and a half ago.  Remember all that bullshit with Nicky railing on and on for weeks about me fucking his corpse, then his ashes? My brother used to host my orchid website for […]
