Apple-Oak Meadows

Momma cat Miss Pumpkin decided to join Grumpy Girl and have her babies in the same tote "house"--they share mothering duties. Here Pumpkin is with Grumpy's three kittens (the 2 reds and the dark cutie) with at least 1 of Pumpkins two "cream" kittens behind the trio. All seem to be doing fine so far in their "upper suite" at our "Cat Hotel."

Planted a cover crop of buckwheat in Garden Bed #3 this year, hoping to cut down on weeding and build the soil tilth to prepare it for cultivation in a future year. Bicycle wheels are not turning--no wind at the moment. We double-fenced the garden this year about all four beds, with our old sheep electro-netting, just electrifying the outer fencing. So far it has worked well, and the deer and rabbits seem to be staying out of the garden. Huzzah!
