Hi, it’s me, Rita. I write this blog. In mid-June I had a garden plot tilled by Quick Cuts: Affordable Lawn and Tree Care. It’s been doing great thanks to the rainfall.
The seeds I sowed: Straight-neck yellow squash, yellow wax beans, okra, Royal Burgundy beans (they are purple on the plant, then turn green when cooked) and kale. I unintentionally grew white summer squash and acorn squash in my compost pile.
I recently gave away many squash. There are more out there, but I can’t get to them without being swarmed by mosquitoes. They will even go for my eyes which is a deal breaker.
I saw this announcement on City of Freeport, IL City Hall’s Facebook page about the next mosquito spray date: Per the Stephenson County Health Department, Mosquito spraying will be on Thursday, because of rain, and Friday. If the rain stops, The spraying will start on Wednesday!
If you want to share your mosquito swarm story, leave a comment below. Your email address will not be public.
Thanks for reading, sharing and following Stephenson County Spotlight!
