There's something living under the raised bed that I have them in. I was just out there and most of the soil is gone.

As much as I hate them - glue trap every night and pick up in the morning. Whatever was getting my zucchini left and took the trap with it. Could. Not. Find. It. !!!
Around here zucchini have been slow - also slow at DS and DDIL's as well.

I just might give it a try because I am not sure that the neighbor is growing organic but I am not complaining because it's zucchini.

I went out to the garden and got some more tomatoes. I did get 1 green bean. I already need to go pick 2 of my pumpkins. They won't last until October. They are super orange and small not mini. Pumpkin Bread will be so good.

Harvest begins! Already have picked 2 orange pumpkins here - compliments of sheep so they got to eat them. They also planted white pumpkins - 3 hanging on the vine still growing. I have talented sheep

I have a question for everyone. I don't have a lot of power tool knowledge but I love hand tools. So does anyone have any ideas, maybe include pictures even if it's just a drawing, for how to make a duck enclosure with a small pond. I was also wondering if anyone would have any ideas for building a chicken coop. I have so much wood from the back fence that we put in. I just don't have a lot of skills. Anything would help. Thank you in advance.

I built two hoop coops for my chickens. I have little power tool knowledge, though I love my cordless drill.

Check out my thread 'My Little Hoop Coop' https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/my-little-hoop-coop.44739/

@Baymule builds one as well.

Here’s a link to a hoop coop I built in 2015.

HOOP COOP

I have more pictures for you @ninnymary !! I built a hoop coop the last week of May. I had chicks in the house, they were driving me nuts and I wanted them OUT! I built the whole thing out of stuff I already had. The tin for the roof was used, the treated lumber for the frame came off the half...

Had a busy day today with the granddaughter. Got home and started watering the chickens and looked down over near the rooster and just about had a heart attack. I saw something moving and it was the snake that scared me a couple of weeks ago. It just about scared the holy bajeebies out of me. He gets to stay though because he had a mouse in his mouth. He was just a little garden snake.

I have garter snakes here, harmless and they are good for the ecosystem. Copperheads get unalived if they show up.
