Oh my, this yellow tomato juice is so good.

It might be something smaller like a pig, cause I watched them in my corn one night, they chomp on the base of the stalk till it drops to get to the cob. The thing that's eating might not be starting from the top but from the bottom up.
My dogs would go after them, but I don’t let them. These type of dogs body slam beef cattle to herd them, so a deer would not do well. My boys probably outweigh most of the deer around here too.
You and me both Robin. I want a couple of the dwarf ones so bad! Hubby won’t go along with it...but I am not giving up! What about you? What kind do you want? Making cheese from their milk would be my main reason.
I don't know that much about breeds, but I like the dwarf ones. It would be impossible for me because I don't have a barn. Just a chicken coop. I have so many things planted willy nilly that I can't fence. I would really like to do the rent a goat thing so I can clean out some of my underbrush. Keep them about a month then send them back to their owner.
What breed dogs?
Robin I will send you a separate email. This breed is a rare breed here in the States and I don’t like to be too open on these boards.

I used to own goats. Until my husband walked out the door and took this picture.
Yes that is a goat on TOP of my brand new $4000.00 of brand new metal roofing.
No I will never own goats again as long as I have my husband

Ok, I shouldn’t have laughed, but did. That picture is so cool. But yeah, I would have shot it for tearing up my new roof!!
Great dog there Joe! Rotts are a great breed! What is your dogs name?

Rex, he is extremely curious, when not resting from being curious. He's our 5th Rottie.

Slowly working through the paste tomatoes as they ripen and have been canning lots of tomato sauce. And ground my first jar of tomato powder.
Picked cantaloupe and we have been eating a bowl every night. They are wonderful and sweet. We tried a new to us heirloom variety called Minnesota Midget. They are great. They are a small melon almost individual about the size of a soft ball. Less cracking compared to the big ones, they turn colors when they are ripe and slip right off the vine. Next year I will plant more.
Still getting large pickings of cucumbers, squash and okra. Eating it fresh but I am no longer putting up squash but rather feeding it to the chickens. Less chicken feed that way.
Finished picking all the elderberry.
Hoping to can grape juice next week.

Not a garden, but my pin oak tree which hangs over the pool has a Yellow Neck Caterpillar infestation. They are shredding leaves and pooping in the pool. I'm going to straight flush vacuum tomorrow to bypass the filter. Uses lots of water, but is a better way to clean the nasty poop.

Grapes and blackberries are both ripe now.
My blackberries came and went in July.

Mine were ripe back in March. Amazes me how different we are even though we all live in the southern parts of the country.

For me it is altitude! I run a good 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Robin and she is not probably 2 hours away.
