Deer, Squirrel and Rain!
This growing season began with rain and definitely is ending that way. In fact we have received record rainfall in the area this year. Perhaps the sign of more cooler weather to come. We have changed our strategy in the garden for the plants we are raising as cooler tolerant species are on the menu for this fall and next spring. The fall garden is in with onions, garlic and the typical southern greens. The asparagus bed produced very well for us this year, the third year with two-year-old roots.
The latest project that we have completed has been the new pump house. I plan to post pictures and a running dialogue of how we built the 8 foot by 8 foot building. Of course all from lumber that came down in the spring ice storm.
More deer, squirrel and coyotes than I care to recall from my years here in the Ozarks. My neighbor has harvested over 30 grey squirrels from his two pecan trees in just this past month. Our woods here are full of the bushy tailed rodents. The deer of course are so thick that driving near twilight is an obstacle course. The coyotes are busy singing their voices at all hours of the night, which of course will get the dogs responding.
