Chemicals and I definitely don't get along, mainly because I hate to read instructions and am basically dislexic when I do. So I'm really dumb about it. Once I was trying to get the top off my sprayer used for RoundUp (I'm not good with mechanical things either) while there was still pressure in it, so when I finally twisted hard enough while holding it between my knees, the pressure released straight up onto my mouth which was not open (imagine that). I ran screaming near death into the house, washed my mouth off, called the number on the RU bottle, reached a nurse, and was assured that RU is harmless unless you're green. Now RU does not scare me so I'm less apt to screw up with it. I do use a shield around plants I don't want to kill. I bet you won't do that again, Professor, and neither will I. Although maybe I have.sherryocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367991971551038582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-67076387697975000352011-07-29T09:51:54.672-05:002011-07-29T09:51:54.672-05:00What a coincidence.

As I walked out the door, I told The Husband that I was going on a 'killing spree'.<br /><br />Sharing our garden blunders is a GOOD thing. It helps us to not make the same mistake twice, and it alerts other gardeners to possible mistakes they are in danger of making. I will see what I can do to come up with one of my best (meaning worst) boo-boos, and I will gladly play along.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.com
