Long time no post... I'm usually on BYC! Anyway, DH and I live on a half acre with our dogs, horses and chickens. We had a gorgeous back lawn and just as I was planting a veggie garden and starting to dig into other areas, the gophers came. We battled with them and won but still managed to save...

:D Look who was shot with a pellet gun! We've caught three in traps and shot the one this past week. Then of course, we have this vermin.... He made his way into the corn and decided to crow between bites!

Fertilize with horse manure to make your peppers even hotter!! Dried out manure works better because it's not as acidic and won't burn. :tools

:weee I'm going to *attempt* a veggie garden again this year. The difference between last year and this? NO MORE FREE RANGING HENS eating all my tomatoes! :barnie
