Barbarians at the gate...
A year and a half trying to fence the deer out of the exclusion zone... The last several months, fence looked absolutely impervious, yet bambi continued leaving fresh tracks everywhere inside the wire... and eating stuff...

The afternoon on the day before yesterday... it started to snow... just like the weatherman predicted.
I stepped out the door with a camera... and there was the problem animal thinking that I wasn't going to be noticing it being back...
Labels: snow
Scattered frost this morning... Had ghost pepper seedlings just coming up in a pot got frost burnt...
And still, sun came out, temp improved and the butterflies came out in force!

Not happening...
Hard to pick watermelons when the cats are eating them before they ripen...
And then the deer eat all the leaves off the vines...
Kinda surprising that I'm still having trouble (with deer), considering the amount of work I've put into fencing...

Pawpaws have dropped!
After they've dropped, they can be eaten... I prefer to peel first, but it isn't really necessary....
Or is it? I've read that the peel & seed contains toxins... I've also read that toxicity may be mostly myth.
This is actually an easier fix than all the fencing I've been doing over the last 2 months, where I'm just adding more wire above existing, and when they jump in, are apparently clearing existing 6 foot wire with no trouble...
Not being able to tell where they come in is a difficult fix... so much wire to add more to...
No problem...
