Unwelcome neighbors




These 3 young woodchucks have been around for awhile. Here they are just outside the window by my computer. Up until recently they have been most into eating Groutweed, also known as Bishop's Cap, and that has been FINE with me. Now they seem to be considering the garden. Accckkkkkkk!!!!!!!

FARM HELPERS



PUMPKIN SEEDLING - JUNE 23 - GETTING BIGGER!

Recently some friends were visiting who were eager to help plant some seeds. Fortunately the weather was fine, the ground was basically prepared and some easy to plant items needed planting. Here they are, planting pumpkins and cucumbers. As the season progresses I will add to this post so my helpers can see how their plants are coming along.

THANK YOU, PALS!
