Were you near the Woolsey fire? If so, that could be Phos-Chek that had been dropped as a fire retardant. The rain would have rinsed it off the foliage in your garden. If it is indeed Phos-Chek, relax. As it breaks down, it becomes fertilizer. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/ Once again, there has been a mass shooting. This time, it was in Thousand Oaks, California. And once again, just as he did after the recent mass shooting in Pittsburgh, President Trump sent his thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims. Thoughts and prayers will not stop the carnage. Action is needed on gun control, and more guns -- as Trump proposed for Pittsburgh and Parkland in Florida -- is not the answer. |

Fungus among us....or perhaps bacteria Today's shots: https://postimg.cc/gallery/ldh8btv2/ I noticed removing the orange powder and digging shallow reveal the normal brown soil. it seems to only exist above the ground. A Redditor says it might be rust since it matches since the orange is like dust. Also digging under it revealed regular dark brown soil like you see around spot. -- "We may have no malevolent intentions toward an ant heap, but if we want to build a house on the same site..." --Rendezvous With Rama Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly. /\___/\ If crediting, then use Ant nickname and URL/link. / /\ /\ \ Axe ANT from its address if e-mailing privately. | |o o| | http://antfarm.ma.cx / http://antfarm.home.dhs.org \ _ / ( ) |
