Morning. I've got traps out for the chippies & am gonna take out the squirrels with the pellet gun. I'm over them destroying everything in the garden. I took the hardware cloth off the cosmos starts to put on the new lettuce bed & went to get a new piece for the cosmos, literally gone 5 minutes, when I came back a squirrel had torn up every single start. I've had such a hard time getting them going, I'm so mad. They shall die now too like the carpenter bees (7 in the trap now) & the slugs.
I'm on a huge cattle panel kick, I have 2 covered in the chicken runs, 3 as trellises in the garden & another cut up as supports for the peppers. They are just so handy dandy!
Beautiful! I would love those!View attachment 3119256
Was gone until 5 pm and came home to 2 new planters made by husband from walnut he got for free from a friend. He spent A LOT of time removing the bark over the last couple days, then cutting and sanding. I thought he was making a bench, and he let me believe that-lol. Now they have herbs in them!
Thank you for that - what a great idea. I was so sick of carrying mine in & out every day!When I harden plants off, I put them in my extra large dog crate and then cover the crate with sheets. I can take the sheet off for longer and longer times to get the plants used to real sunshine.
That's how my beans looked for years! & it worked perfectly! Then I needed all the scraps to keep the squirrels out so I ended up with cattle panels as trellises this year.Its amazing what you can do with scrap fence, scrap poles and zipties.
