He said that the wildlife took a lot but he did manage to get a decent harvest. I wish we could hunt there but being on the flight line makes that a bit hard :) I was thinking how cool it would be to have a little dog house style coop and have some "stealthy" chickens in there, no one would know…. except I looked up and there are hawks circling the plots all day long, they wouldn't last too long in there!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-44313789517249477432015-04-29T20:40:03.490-04:002015-04-29T20:40:03.490-04:00Have there been gardens there before this year?

Hmmm, bamboo windbreaks? Venison and ground hog in the freezer? Seriously, I know you'll do well if anyone can. You've got some pretty good helpers this year and I have a feeling the next time we see pictures of the garden, there won't be much bare soil showing. You're sooooo far ahead of us here in Minnie-soda.

Between Mother Nature and the animals I would say that you are definitely going to have a very challenging time with your garden. Good luck! <br /><br />Spiderjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842253679813817504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-24526580357564865972015-04-28T07:27:08.110-04:002015-04-28T07:27:08.110-04:00I'm hoping that will be the case and the plant...I'm hoping that will be the case and the plants will be strong!

That wind sounds pretty strong. I bet the plants will just grow stronger to combat the constant wind. Can you bring your compost home to compost? Might be more work than it's worth though.Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-41804321055923203462015-04-27T16:12:21.999-04:002015-04-27T16:12:21.999-04:00Susan, haha maybe they will!

I'm saving my grass clippings at the house but our yard is only about 12' x 30' so it's comical how little that produces in the way of clippings!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-61229045221802620322015-04-27T13:11:37.364-04:002015-04-27T13:11:37.364-04:00With that much wind, maybe you'll luck out and...With that much wind, maybe you'll luck out and the deer will jump waaaay over (tail wind) or not be able to jump at all (head wind)! That's a great big plot you have - too bad you can't start a compost pile. I know you'll be able to grow a bumper crop of everything...Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-73198240333585707112015-04-27T13:02:26.100-04:002015-04-27T13:02:26.100-04:00I'm bummed my crappy internet won't let me...I'm bummed my crappy internet won't let me play your video---but I have saved it to play at 3 am when no one else is hogging bandwidth!<br /><br />Just love how quickly you have moved on your garden. Too bad about compost piles--where on earth are you supposed to put "stuff" like clippings/cuttings/etc.????<br /><br />Have fun!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
