It's truly unbelievable how much wild life we see passing through the back garden - in the past year we have seen wild rabbits, deer, groundhogs, all kinds of birds, skunks, squirrels, fireflies and bats!
The squirrels are totals pests - we are growing peas, corn & cucumbers from seed. We put them in window boxes up on the deck so that the birds and squirrels wouldnt get to them, but I wasnt really thinking straight about how birds can fly and squirrels can jump!! They just hop up to the deck and sit in the boxes. Anyway, we have miraculously managed to grow 2 pea pods and the corn is well on its way. The cucumbers have flowered which is a good sign, but i'm not sure whats going on under the soil...
