that's a good start and i sure hope it worked.
they are like many other creatures in this world that will have so many babies that they all need new territories when they get bigger or perhaps it was driven out of its existing territory (new construction or clearing of land or repairs to...
2 miscreants (aka chipmunks) were lured in by the sweet seduction of the dried grape to their dooms... it's not something i really enjoy doing, but we're really getting overrun by chipmunks already and the season is just getting started.
i'm wondering how many i will have to keep trapping...
i did a fair bit more weeding today and saw some squash seeds sprouting (and removed them before they could take over). at least i made a good dent and improved the general looks of several gardens, but i did not finish weeding any of the four gardens i was in. there's big enough areas...
i'm pretty sure some of us are already up the wall and considering what happened to Humpty Dumpty...
i have a rat trap out there with peanut butter and raisins trying to lure a crafty chipmunk to his/her doom. i don't think this one is going to fall for it though...
great to hear they got it done so quick. when it is very stormy here they won't often come out until the storm has passed... though i think with recent regulations and reimbursements for outages they are going to have more incentives to get out and get things fixed quicker. that was part of a...
our first large purple bearded iris is out now. a bit earlier than usual. always so pretty, plus i love the smell of them AND I'M NOT ALLERGIC OR REACTIVE TO THEM!!!!!! yippee!!!!! :)
made a big pot of beans last weekend and froze most of them. included half of my old beans so they did take some extra time to cook plus have more tough skins.
we made some burritoes yesterday with some of these beans. they still tasted fine if a little tough. i have two more quarts of old...
would be great for sure to reuse it instead of having to let someone else come get it for scrap value.
curious if FEMA will want to deduct it from what is paid...
no, i've just gone by the weather forecast for the next week towards the end of the month of May. sometimes this is modified by Mom's insistence or rain events, i can't plant in mud very easily...
weeding plenty of pathways and some of the gardens inside the fenced area. plenty more that will need to be done, but all in good time, we have a few weeks yet before i have to put out the tomatoes and peppers. the onions i could do earlier if i had them, they probably could have been set out...
yes, onions are edible when starting their blooming but i don't think there's much bulb there and the flower stalk may go around or through the bulb making it oddly shaped for cutting/cooking. the stalk and flowers are even edible if they're not tough or dried out. the only thing i've heard...
