What Did You Do In The Garden?

[Gardening with Rabbits]

Dad told me years ago that a coyote will eat sweet corn.

Kansas grows a lot of milo and when I lived there I heard that coyotes ate milo. They hid in the milo fields if I remember right.

What is a colon.

Well ...

I guess autocorrect would have been happier with racoon .

A wild colon slithering around your garden would be more alarming than all of the wild garden critters combined! And think of the destruction!

I actually was hoping it was auto correct. Not some weird animal that I had never heard of.

Cow manure has a high fiber content. The bacteria digesting the fiber will tie up any available nitrogen. Then slow release.

after two years manure should be pretty much beyond any immediate nutrient draw downs like that, but if your soil is very deficient in organic matter then adding it will then give the microbes something more to munch on for a while.

eventually the N comes back. just keep adding enough each season. best to add it and turn it under as then it won't wash away if there is any kind of slope (and definitely not on frozen ground).

I harvested a huge amount of tomatillos and cherry tomatoes. Also some puny miserable looking bell peppers. I made and canned salsa! I haven't canned anything since 2011, so it was time to relearn. But all the jars sealed - love that PING sound! Everything in the jar was home grown EXCEPT the vinegar, salt, lime, and cilantro.

Thistle, you slay me!!! Almost made me laugh til I cried down my leg, if ya know what I mean! Thanks for the chuckle!!!

Today I'm staking up and tying up some of the most massive hot pepper plants I've ever grown, trying to get them off the ground so the peppers won't rot in all these rains. The bumbly bees are sure working those pepper blooms!

Also taking out the last of the beans, pumpkins and squash....and letting the raptors into the garden so they can clean up all the millions upon millions of squash bugs and their progeny.

What the coyote has been leaving behind has passed through a wild colon ...

Garbanzo the Dog is out there on a leash, now and then. She seems frightened by the piles of poop.

I have mentioned on TEG finding a real mess in a park a few years ago. Obviously, coyote poop and full of plum seeds ... He had experienced this tremendous problem, all over about 20 square feet of path!

Garbanzo is a very smart dog. When my dogs refuse to go in the backyard I know the local coyotes are hunting
