Why you gotta touch their holes, Brain? :(

Granny Smith is going to produce apples this year... at least a dozen apple buds on it. :cool:
We had a huge hailstorm that knocked all of the buds but one off of the Granny Smith.  But that bud has developed into a nice apple. :cool:

My peach almost died from transplant shock but it recovered and now it's growing like crazy, except for the central leader which has some weird white shit on the bark... but I want this tree to have an open form so I don't give that much of a shit about the leader (which will eventually be pruned out anyway), as long as the side branches are ok.

 :P One apple! That's one valuable apple. Enjoy it. Make an ice cream dessert with it.

That's no way to talk about the dear central leader.

I ate the first corn from my garden tonight, with a couple dozen or more ears of corn ready or nearly ready to harvest. I must have several dozen or more out there as well, not quite as ready. I have well over a hundred corn plants.

Also had my first cherry tomatoes this week. The other plants have lots of green tomatoes.

Been fighting a battle with a groundhog! I've put down animal repellent, a couple of different kinds,but those don't seem to have helped. Put in a motion detector that plays sounds only animals hear and shines a light, which  doesn't seem to be working. So I called an exterminator, and there's couple of traps in the garden now. I feel like Bill Murray in Caddyshack, going after those damn varmint Cong!   Plus I do have some cool outdoor hats which should help me catch those critters! Australian Tilley hat, and other similar ones.   :alberta:

Heh, those pics remind me. I was talking with my neighbor that owns the shed where the groundhog lives under. He was talking about using a small handgun with birdshot. I guess he may have one. But it's too crowded here, houses all around, and illegal to be firing off a weapon. Though a couple neighbors talked about trying to use a pellet gun on critters in their gardens.

Not sure a pellet gun would penetrate a groundhog's fur. A crossbow would though.

I do use an air rifle. It's a 1200 foot per second pellet gun. Works fine for the stuff that's usually invading my yard--quail.

I have given it some careful consideration ofer the last wo and a half years, as I wanted to be sure to give Cal the best possible advice.

I have now voted: Apple, Peach and Pear

This morning a possum was caught in the trap!  :yeah:  Not the critter I was going for but I knew there were possums roaming around. Traps are still there now, to catch more of those varmint Cong!
