Funniest carrot I ever seen

Another nursey rhyme
Mary had a little lamb she called him Illy Ollocks, she threw him up in the air and caught him by his.....

It's almost that time again!
My little weed garden survived the only one ice/snow event this year. I'll be sad to see it go.

I'm putting up a greenhouse this year, I guess.
I was gifted one of those cheap polycarbonate jammers. I don't know how it will hold up but I started assembling what I could in the basement while it's still dead winter.


Otherwise, stuck in the seed box stage.

Garlic's on the rise.

Eggplant under lights.

Finally got around to that greenhouse.

Great start to the season!

I wanted so badly to start potatoes for Saint Patrick.

 

[aprilmayjunebugs]

My peer pressure plant has arrived!


Doesn't look too bad for having been in a box for days. I have questions though, I ordered inoxia.

 

[DomGom TheFather]

You'll run into a lot of confusion around Daturas.
What's in a name?..

 

[aprilmayjunebugs]

First flower on my weed which no one shall pull unless they want to never be spoken to again.

 

[DomGom TheFather]

It's only a weed if you don't want it there.

Might have been a tad early on the aubergines.

Melons are up.

I cannot get over how cute these baby Toothaches are.

OK gardening peeps I need some help I have a large corkscrew Hazel in my front garden it's been there 20 years and has always been happy in its spot covered in orb weavers, but today I noticed brown/red lumps all over its branches. So I snapped a small branch with 2 on to get a better look and try to remove the lumps. I haven't seen anything like these before and assumed they were hardened sap the tree was leaking for some reason.
To my surprise when I pulled the lump burst and was filled with eggs ! There are easy 100 of these things on my tree and I have tried to Google it but I mustn't be writing the right thing because I can't find anything like this.
I live in the North East of the UK if it helps but I was hoping maybe someone on here may know or has seen them before.
I feel incredibly guilty because it was an egg sac and if I had known i wouldn't of touched it.

After alot more digging turns out they are Eulecanium tiliae or the nut scale as they are commonly known. They are parasitic bugs that hold the eggs underneath them and live off the sap in the tree by burrowing into it. I must admit I feel a bit better knowing I didn't just destroy some butterfly's eggs, but thought I would update as I found out what they are thanks anyways
