Of Weather and Pests...

• Last few days were on the chilly side. Not that I am complaining. 
• Squirrels ate all our peaches and nectarines. Those things weren't even ripe yet!
• The boysenberries are ripening - but I am under no illusion that we'll get to eat them. The catbirds got them in the previous years and they are back for more now.
• I did eat 2 red boysenberries today - definitely not ripe yet, so tart they tasted bitter.
• We netted our blueberry bushes. Not sure it would do any good... But we have to at least try.
• Rabbits have been visiting our garden and mowing down the lettuce - they dug under the fence. 
• Some of our cucumbers and beans grew along the fence - and got chomped by deer.
• Clearly, we need a pack of feral cats in our yard... to keep the bird, squirrel, and chipmunk population under control.
