For some reason, I have an intense dislike of ground hogs, aka, wood chucks. I think it stems from them eating most of my melons in past years. Or, I should say, half eating most of my melons, and then scratching a bunch of dirt into the open cavity, rendering the rest of the melon unsalvageable! GRRRR!

Same here. I don't really have a garden anymore but they are destructive as all get out.
They dig huge holes with the resultant piles of dirt, can destroy building foundations.
Last year I watched one pull down 6 foot high, with ~2" stems, sunchokes and devour them. It would grab it up as high as it could(~18") bend it over and eat all the leaves. SMH.
I shot 4-5 of them last year, now my rifle is dangerously filthy and I'm not sure I can safely disassemble and more so reassemble to clean.

Can you find a reputable gunsmith? They would be able to do that for you.

That's what I'm thinking, will start the search soon.

Good morning Cafe! Thanks for the coffee DL!

It's a beautiful sunny day here in Halifax. Not so much in Cape Breton. Haha. Lots of snow. Hopefully that will be over soon and the warmer weather will be on its way.

Good morning and thanks for the coffee!
I was going to suggest a Mother's Day brunch serving goat and chicken, but ...
maybe we can add GH to it as well.
Stay safe and have fun!

I went to a new place for flowers this year based on the recommendation of the worker at the nursery I went to yesterday for more plants to install around the pond.
It was a nice little mom & pop garden place with a good variety of high quality plants at a reasonable price. They let me walk around with Piper too. Lots of them don't let dogs come in.
They had a large koi pond down back and I could see goldfish in it from where I stood. I just casually asked if they ever sold fish and the man chuckled and I said I was serious. That I just started up an ornamental pond and am cycling the filter now and it will be a few more days and it will be ready for fish. He is going to let me catch what I can to start stocking the pond this weekend! Free! Cool beans!!
