Saturday we spent most of the day working outside. I managed to weed a couple of the flower beds, and we ended up planting out all the peppers in 2 and half green stalks. After a stop at a local farm stand and an additional trip to Lowes, we also finished filling all three green stalks.  We planted out green beans and seeds to replace the loofa gourds that the frost killed.   My plan was to go outside today and take lots of pictures to share like this one.

I was so excited to share that we have squash plants, cantaloupe and more watermelon plants and zucchini plants that have germinated as well.  The only sad news was that multiple tomato plants were damaged and lost from the frost  this week.  I was actually taking pictures when I discovered this…

Yes something has decided to start using my garden and hard work as a snack buffet. Matt and I scrambled around to try and put up some barriers to stop the attack before it gets worse.  We added a pallet to the only entrance to these plants as well as some wire fencing on one side.

I am hoping this works otherwise we have to figure out what and how to barricade the side closest to the house as well. I re aimed the camera in hopes that if the critter is coming in from the house side the cameras will capture.  I will definitely keep posting about this.

Maybe next week a picture heavy post with lots of sprouts and things!
