Not happy :(

I left my herbs and tomato seedlings out today so they can get some sunshine. Unfortunately half of all my herbs dried out, all my parsley and 4 of my tomatoes.

Not a happy camper at all.

Kill it with fire!!!!

Quite the scare last Thursday, someone decided to make a nice forest fire at the back of the hill where I live. They had 2 scout planes circling the area for 5 hours making sure the firefighters knew where the blaze was heading.

Kids got really stressed out about it. :(

This is the scout plane. It was circling a just a few hundred feet up.

And another shot of it just above the tree line.

2nd round of the perfect mix.

So the first time I did the mix for my boxes I only had cow and sheep manure, peat moss and Vermiculite. So this time I searched far and wide and found 6 different mixes.

Check it out:

Here's 490lbs of compost and manure for you.

Snakes, why did it have to be snakes....

My daughter found this big guy next to the ex-chicken coop. A garter snake and it's a beauty!

It's the largest I've seen around here and I wish I could have seen it myself.

Checked Wiki and found that it is mildly venomous but their fangs are at the back of their mouth. I like these and I'm expecting to make a home for them in my SFG so they can get the slugs and mice.
