Started making the frame for a concrete pot. Someone could have told me that cut steel sheeting is razor sharp.

Autsch!
Aïe! (sounds like Sco.. or NI "Aye")
Ouch!

What works best -for me- for small to medium, neat cuts is Hydogen peroxyde. But by the way, I must have an injection of tetanus vaccine again, haven't had one for over 20 years! Your scissors seem to be a bit rusted...

My mother also told me that when the miners had a wound that wouldn't heal, they would chew leaves of a plant that I think is Symphytum (Beinwell, Eng: Comfrey), but she also mentioned another plant, probably from the plantago family as far as I can recall when she showed it to me, but I don't remember the name.

She probably doesn't either. ❤

This was a case of kitchen tissue, wrap aroun the finger. It really was just a point of sheeted steel that nicked me. Annoying.

These are old japanese steel scissors I was given when I bought my first tree from someone. He was quitting, heard I was new and he gave me some duplicates. I managed to bend this on his tree, the same week not knowing they are for twigs only. Now the tips don't fully close and it has become my rootwork/coarse cutting scissor.

Have you had a tetness shot in the last ten years or ever?

I sort of asked in my previous post, I suppose he keeps his vaccines updated. A friend who was a nurse told me she saw someone die from tetanus, and she said he didn't die a happy death.

Or perhaps he's anti-vaccination, in which case, good luck to him...

I feed the hummingbirds and have probably 20 that hang around. I have seen several babies this summer but I have not been able to find any nest. This one came in the garage this morning while I was working on trees.

Nice!
Did you snag him from mid-flight with repotting chop sticks?

Even if they are edible, I imagine that they are not enough to even taste. Maybe our resident micologist, @wireme, knows what these little umbrella-like guys are that annually appear on a few of my bonsai (in this case a chaenomeles).

btw, those two little balls are Osmocote prills.
