Gotta start canning tomatoes tomorrow. I have some 10+ flats on my basement floor. Hit and miss with rain this week here in Atlanta. Bumper crops - everything..

I’m particularly impressed with my Shishito (four) pepper plants. First year planting.. Harvesting fruit every three days.

Checked my squirrel (two) traps this morning and my larger one was missing..,(stolen???) I found it five rows over.. Something ripped that poor squirrel to pieces.., front foot, back feet, guts, skin off its back to the backbone.. Must have been one very hungry coon.

I actually felt sorry for the critter for about two non-seconds..

Ha Ha. Probably a coon. Our larger trap got totally destroyed, and we suspect it was a very large coon. We have caught some small ones before. Had it setting out by the grape vines. Darn coon gets them every year.

Never heard of trapping squirrels. Shoot ‘em and have them for dinner. We have tons of them but the only time they bother the garden is when their planting pecans. The cats are keeping the population under control. Eh, I let them be.
