Major, thank you for letting me live vicariously through your garden pictures!
I don't know what went on here in the days before weekly garbage collection, but I am always turning up shards of glass and pottery, rusty nails, broken toys, bits of metal such as springs and pipe fittings, etc. in my garden plot. I can't understand why people would have used their backyard for a garbage heap like that, just feet from the back door. There will be bits of things turning up from now until forever, I figure.

I'd love to go barefoot in my garden, but it would be hazardous to my health.
Thistle, all of the squirrels around here must be in disguise. That is one critter I never see in my yard.
