Dang, I caught a big opossum in the live trap (2nd this week) and I’m still getting digging in the garden...
This morning I broke off the top 2/3 of a big tall Giant Ragweed not too far from my east-most garden plot, and actually beginning to shade around 10 a.m. the spot I’m trying to establish catnip in. I had estimated that Giant Ragweed plant at almost 20 ft. tall. I walked off the piece I broke off, and then got a tape measure. Sure enough, adding the two sections, that thing was 238” tall, and that was after the very top had wilted slightly from the top 2/3 being broken off. It was more “greens” than our chickens would eat.
