The gardens are growing as well as the weeds! I had one little interesting set back...last week I headed up to the garden prepared to thin my beans, only to be surprised that most of their tops had been nipped off... a bummer! But all was not lost since it was only the seedling leave where nip on some. So my nature "friend" did my thinning for me. I am pretty sure it is a groundhog that help itself. So I put up some counter measures with a bit of snow fence and bird scare tape. I replanted where the bean plants were completely gone..guess I will get a successive crop.
My defense system is working now for more than a week...the critter got some of my broccoli and cauliflowers too...ah well...
I went about my other gardening tasks which included a bit of rock picking. When I was done I took the rocks over to the hedge row to dump them. I threw them in and suddenly I was startled by squeaking and squealing! Guess I dumped the rocks unknowingly on someone! That put runa into full alert! She make it a practice to pester our friend when ever she is up at this garden with me. The beans are growing fine again....but I am going to leave my fence up for a bit.
This is right where I dumped my load of rocks...hope squeaker finds a new place to live!
