Now that the apple blossoms have mostly dropped (or got beaten down by the incessant rain) #BeetBear insisted that it was time to start deploying the sticky traps to help fight the Apple Maggot Fly that likes to cripple my apples. I made him help me get them ready as I wasn't keen on going out in the pouring rain by myself. Each tree will get 4 or 5 spheres and we'll hope for the best. 😀

A ten inch tall (25cm), light brown teddy bear in green overalls sits looking directly at the camera. His name is BeetBear. He is holding a beet in his right paw. There is a bunch of beets embroidered on the bib of his overalls. In front of him is a can of "Tanglefoot Sticky Stuff" There are red plastic shells that can be folded so the two halves make a sphere that can be fitted in to the wire holders laying in front.
Close view of an open can of Tanglefoot with the brush pulled out to show the VERY sticky, viscous, clear paste within.
A red plastic sphere coated with tanglefoot suspended by a wire hanging from a branch of an apple tree.
A red plastic sphere mounted in the the coiled wire holder and coated with sticky stuff.

#BostonWeekend 21/x
Oh hey, its me again, @knizer, every week I spend a couple hours aiming to make fediverse-enabled people near #Boston happier by putting together a curated list of events. There's a ton going on in #NewEngland, and hoo-boy, are the things in the news getting me down. We need to recharge, find community, and support our creators, activists, and event venues.

Leave the house this weekend if you can, tell your friends that you found about a cool thing to do here on Mastodon. And hey, maybe they'll think about quitting Facebook again, and joining us here.

Toot Bostonswachter (@swachter@toot.boston)#SomervilleOpenStudios sound off thread! Are you going? Are you selling art? Are you excited about a specific artist? Do you have a favorite stop every year? What’s good, y’all? Shameless self-promotion in this thread is HIGHLY encouraged for artists; shameless other-promotion is highly encouraged for everyone else! Gas up your friends! Be obnoxiously enthusiastic! Embrace the cringe! #SomervilleMA #CambervilleMA #CambridgeMA #OpenStudios

Here's my problem with the timing of the planting out of tomatoes. Goal: no temperatures below 50⁰F/10⁰C. Predicted overnight low for last night: 46⁰F/8⁰C ; ACTUAL overnight low 40⁰F/4⁰C. As of yesterday, the 10-day weather showed no temps below 50 after today. NOW they show sub-50 temps for 8&9 May. Couple that with my lower ACTUAL numbers means there will be no planting out for a week yet. #BeetBear does not want to get out the torch.
