My mother-in-law received a chunk of bamboo from China, some kind of address scheme... annoying. We have enough Chinese invasive species without this kind of nonsense.

Her home address which is her business address. There was a weird seed mailing thing from China. This may be the next iteration? The return address was an American address for Chinese shipping. I should have taken down the info. We told her to burn it.

Everything I've read indicates it's a mild form of identity theft--they ship something to your address so that you can be a "verified purchase" from their company, and then they leave a fake positive review for their company from your account. Best to change your Amazon password.

Yes, way back when the inch was still very inchy I took a master gardener course via Cornell Cooperative Extension. During one of the modules they went over how US soybeans are a hella important crop and we are the only country that doesn't have soybean rust. Apparently DHS makes it their business to be sure eco terrorists don't try to bring nasty plant shit into the US. That was about 2004 0r 2005,

I hit a nest of ground wasps with the brush hog today. Bad idea.

Yeah, sounds like a bad idea. An underground nest usually calls for napalm or liquid nitrogen.

Or a nice moderate county in a non-adjacent state.
