I'll have to start getting outside much earlier to pick nettle. I was out a 7:30am, but the bees were already awake and swarming. It appears ants like nettle too. I salvaged what I could. Then it was a full workout inside, then back to the garden and flower beds. I managed to un-bury the raspberry bushes, and clean up the roses out by the roadside. I brought in a very large tick also. I had a hat on, and it fell from my hair (also tied up) and onto my shoulder. Thankfully, I saw it before it attached. It was very large, and I never get ticks. I had forgotten to put on my tick oil (won't do that again).
