Won’t the hawk accomplish your goals
he doesn't seem to go for the bunnies

i think they are too smart for him

they live under my back deck

they are big

and basically not scared of me

i considered trapping and relocating them once but i just couldnt do it

they aren't like squirrels

those disgusting putrid tree rats from hell

nothing like squirrels

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

my peonies have been raging the last week

one of them looking like it's nearing the last legs

but still full open blooms

a huge thunderstorm just rolled through

i know from peony experiences past, it basically takes one windy day / rainstorm when they are like this to fuck the batch and end the season

when i heard the deluge begin to drop my mind went to 'clip them'

there is a light pink version that smells wonderful

i have fewer of them but they just started to open 4-5 days ago

big rainstorm will ruin them for sure

so i went and clipped 6 and put them in a vase with water

a big moment

but needed to take evasive action

beautiful flowers are meant to be enjoyed

and when they smell like candy perfume it is something you want to take advantage of

it is sad their outdoor moment is passing

but exciting because tomorrow morning i will awaken to an aroma of bliss

For Mother’s Day, the girls got Mrs Wease a cucumber plant, a tommy toe plant and a basil (which she doesn’t really care for) plant. They planted those and today we added jalapeños, okra and an heirloom tomato plant.

carrots growing, plant part on top like 3-4 inches tall

corn growing too. like a foot tall now. overcame a few rounds of bunnies eating it to the nub. put a little point fence around it and it came back

pumpkin plants starting to expand

no tomato plants yet

need pumpkins to get going more and act as natural spiky fence barrier against the rabbits
