What did YOU do in your garden today :P

[TheSeedObsesser]

See, and I thought that it was the mischievous ROOSE, a cousin to the MOOSEABBIT. You see, a long time ago the MOOSEABBIT and ROOSE were both the same species. And then the Rocky mountain chain came into being, isolating the two populations from each other. Eventually the ancestral species diverged into two separate species. Their is also another similiar-looking species called the BEER (bunny-deer), no longer related as it evolved a long time before both ROOSE and MOOSEABBIT, that resides east of the Appalachian mountain chain. So I guess that it all depends on GWR's location.

Actually, I kind of that that it looked like the were-rabbit from the Wallace & Gromit movie.

Bigfoot Bunny? Jersey Rabbit? I think that I might see arms to go along with those ears.

It does look like a rabbit! LOL Only would be worse with those feet stomping through beans!

That there creature which SeedO circled is the very rarely seen MOOSEABBIT!

Hundreds of centuries ago a Rabbit fell in love with a Moose, and, well, they uh...

And ever since, there has been MOOSEABBITS out there. They are extremely and painfully shy, and only ever let BIGFOOTS see them.

They are SO UNKNOWN, that not even folks who know the Bigfoots like I do have ever seen one. You'll never even hear conspiracy theorists mentioning them.

I only ever heard about the Mooseabbit from Grampa Bigfoot who sez he used to do shenanigans with them about 200 years ago.

Maybe my rabbits are only 1/8 Mooseabbit!

And, here I'm just dealing with a family of marmots that have taken up residence across an unused field. They may be trying to move into "my" rockpile. Whatever the case, they are sampling the cabbage and broccoli!

I carried some proper sized rocks over to them a couple of days ago. And, hammered them into the entrance of their burrow!

Good Luck with those ears, @Gardening with Rabbits ! Guard your Garden!

Marmots, my gosh that is even worse! I have heard of them getting under parked cars and eating wires and doing major damage to cars, so a garden, oh my. I hope you win the fight.

If somebody was going to draw a cartoon of my family a couple of years ago trying to catch these rabbits, this would fit! We used a net like that to hunt them and went out at night with the moonlight. That could be DH and DS,and Zoup following them!

 

[so lucky]

That thing has glowing eyes, what ever it is. I think you need to call the crew from Mountain Monsters to catch it in one of their famous home made nets.

Not a durned thing. Son and spouse did get one tiller running today. It only took from April 21st to get it fixed with nary another nag. That is actually a pretty good record -- and only because son is there to help.

I spent the day staining my deck. Nearly finished -- both with the railings and with the can of stain. Now to decide upon skirting for around the bottom. Then I will stain the spindles to match the skirt. I am thinking woodsy green or dark brown. How does it look so far?

The junky pieces of fencing are to keep the chickens out until the skirt is added.

The rail detail was my design. DH didn't want flat railings because people often sit on them and soon the rails are sagging. No one sits on these slanting rails and I like the look.

No garden here. . . yet. Until the skirt gets put on it's a dangerous spot for plants. DH killed, a white bleeding heart, a white astilbe, a white monk's hood, three white iris, and several miniature iris (gifts from fellow gardeners on line). Most of the plants around the deck will be hostas. Those are the work horses of my shady spots.

Love the deck @Smart Red the slanted top rails are a nice touch.

 

[so lucky]

The deck looks great, but too bad about all those trampled plants! any chance they might come back?

I like the "slant" on the deck, too! Adds charm.

The next time I'm where they sell roofing, I'm gonna check out metal roofing colors and styles. I think I might prefer plywood siding for a deck skirt but you might think about roofing, Red.

There is a building that serves as an office and shop for some kind of building maintenance outfit that I drive by all the time. There might be a chance that it is an old house, remodeled for a different purpose.

Anyway, it has metal roofing covering every square foot of the exterior. I talked to the guys who did the work, years ago. I told them how much I liked how they did it: 2 different roofing types, colors and orientations. It is really quite "cute" despite its use.

I may side my old garage wall in my good neighbor's garden. The last coat of paint on that south wall lasted about 5 years.
