Fairly sure that this is a False Potato Beetle, and not an actual Potato Beetle.

I won’t be voting in the Scranton Mayoral Primary… but I’ve tried to take an interest anyway. Not sure though if I have the right frequency.

A lot of stuff I come across on the internet, referencing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), even by major media sources, seems to innuendo that Obamacare itself is a medical insurance company plan they’re going to run out of the White House, or that it’s some kind of public option (“Medicare for All”), or extension of Medicaid (“Medicaid Plus for Everybody”), or something of that nature. I’ve looked into it, and that kind of innuendo is just rubbish confusion nonsense.

Pulmonaria is one of my favourite plants. And bonus, it’s not bothered by a light frost, not even a little. And I could care less about the blooms… but as it happens it’s blooming now, and the frost didn’t interfere with that either.

A bird has decided to build a nest in the lilac bush at the mailbox. Not sure how this is going to work out. Hopefully it won’t be a problem for anyone… the birds, the postal carrier, or us.

If you’re good at identifying various plants, please check this out & help me out. I like having names for stuff, even if it’s weeds. I thought last year the amount of mystery plants was because I had just moved here, and was unfamiliar with gardening. But it seems like I have just as many, if not more, mystery plants this spring.

I don’t think anyone would call Hello Kitty a wallflower… But Western Wallflowers seem to be what came out of my Hello Kitty wildflower seeds.

Garden transplant success is difficult to determine in a short period of time. Like much of gardening apparently, it could take years to determine what’s what & how things are actually going.

After being a late bloomer gardener last year, I decided to get a jump on everything this year. I may have started some things too early. But I think it’ll work out better than being late like last spring.

I would’ve missed this little tidbit about the real inventors of the so-called Galilean Thermometer, if it weren’t for a rather dismissive & tiny note in a magazine, which in the end, has led me to ponder more questions about this particular antiquated temperature measurement technology.
