So, in case there is ANYONE OUT THERE in cyberspace who is actually reading my blog...I've been busy. Life has really taken over and my little farm has been patiently waiting for me, out there, all alone. [sniff!] But no worries! Patience is a virtue that I possess, along with a strong will and the determination to complete a task!
Let's see, what has taken me away from my little Utopia? Well, I lost my stay at home job and had to pursue work out of the home. Full-time. This, on top of my daughter's keen interest in Cheersport has kept me rather busy. My husband is not being very helpful with regard to helping me get the two last trees down, so I'm about to the point that I will have to get in there and get those trees down by myself, although I will need assistance with one.
My plan is still to plant the one bed and begin a new bed for next fall. I still plan to plant 1 - 2 tomato plants, beans, cucumbers....I don't know. What else would you suggest?
Squirrels are a problem on my lot. Our lot is covered with acorn, sweet gum, pine and hickory trees. The squirrels have created a multi-generational tribe on my property and I'm afraid that they will attack my garden. Then there are chipmunks, or ground squirrels! We have so many holes in our backyard! We love wildlife, but I'm afraid that the squirrel population is too dense for our little haven.
The cool thing, at least to me, is the fact that we have a thriving family, or pod, of flying squirrels. We plan to build a feeding station so that we can watch them in the spring and summer during the evening.
