Mrs. Augie's pickle patch is still producing like crazy. I think she's past 24qts of fermented dills now. The tomatoes are trying to catch up to where they should be. I had my eye on a ~2lb brandywine a few days ago, but Mr. Cottontail got to it before I did.
We declared war on the muskrat clan that invaded the front yard cow pond, and have dispatched five of the vermin so far. The rascals tunneled into what I suspect is a void left by the root of a tree that was removed from the dam when we built the house. There's a noticable flow of water seeping through the dam now. That wasn't happening before they moved in, so I've got some work ahead of me to locate and repair that.
Water in the bait pond almost reached the overflow after yesterday's rainfall.
