Apparently no one here fishes anymore...
Mystery purple peppers are "purple jalapeno". Prolific is an understatement.
Found hole in zucchini (in pot) leaf stem where insect crawled out. Picked 2 so far.
While power washing, got some water on the 2 tomatos (in pots like pepper), just enuf water weight on leaves to topple both. One was tied to the other. Stake rotted off. Broken stem w/ broken already set tomatos. Close to tears!
The 4 plants take 2 gallons of water a day. pretty sure would be cheaper to just buy. Any day coon will be up on deck ravaging the crop.
2 transplanted orange raspberries have taken hold well. Supposedly 2 crops per year. 2nd in fall.
Deer continue to forage gardens. Violets, roses and trilliums favorites so far.
2nd bluebird brood complete. Cleanin out house found loaded w/ small black ants, same as last year.
Birds now eatin 3lb. black oil sunflower seeds a day. Peckers fightin over suet.
Lawns stressed from no rain last week. More of the same upcoming week.
Japanese beetle invasion seems to have ended.
Legal post. Fished small lake last Sun. Posted limit 5 trout per day. One good bite dragged rod. Otherwise small trout and panfish.
