| Raccoon at the suet feeder |
Woodpeckers regularly visited the suet feeder, until the visitor at left cleaned us out while ignoring tremendous protests from a house cat at the nearest window.
New children came to stay with us. This farm is fairly flat, but we now know there are ways to slide, if one has a saucer and is determined.
A new small raised bed is going in. George's small garlic bed is doing well. Equipment maintenance and mowing have begun.
We always seem to start putting seedlings and seed in the big kitchen garden beds later than we should, but are usually lucky to get plenty of what we need in the end.

| Squash seedlings |
What a photo of the raccoon! Those are beautiful squash seedlings. I'm assuming you used a grow light. I tried to germinate seeds this spring without one and they just ended up spindly, chasing the sun.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Anne. Yes, I use grow lights in the basement, on a timer. Technically, we could start squash from seed in the ground here, but if I start the seeds inside, put out seedlings, and cover them for a bit, there is much less insect damage.
