nope just damned racoons in the corn thus far,
but i just harvested it all so that ends that...
we ate some raw its so sweet...steaming some now for lunch

what a mess they make of it
....and hard to catch them in the act too....

because i'd chase em down with my old fashion weed slicer
shaped like a golf putter....
and lop their heads clean off...
next year!..... i'll have sleigh bells in the corn

i need a Super sharp samurai sword -LOL

finally got up to speed here
the hummingbird flower mix is now in full bloom
the seed mixture is most excellent i must say

now i have 3-4-5-6 battling for turns....

wicked cool because i'll be standing there watering the flowers
and the hummers go into hover mode with their tail feathers
fully spread (full flaps) and lookin large.....as they kinda "moon walk"
in forward motion every so slowly waiting to chase off the intruders

shocked the Sh1T outta me.... it was an amazing piece of construction i thought.
"precise mud work" like stucco
i hadn't been down there much.....
for say 2 1/2 weeks after straining my back..

(from carrying my table saw upstairs from the cellar... 2 days later i go hunched over)

the place was over grown allot ...so much so i had to weed whack the whole area again...

and suddenly i see the nest... oh great! i said...reaching in to feel for eggs
~ and there was already one....
otherwise, i would of moved it to the outside of the structure.
