At the end of the day, you are going to need to ask yourself one question. What do I believe…? And then you’re going to have to come to terms with your own answer…

@FloreFlos ❤️🥰❤️

@CountryGirlAt12 I thought you’d like them 🥰

Guys look what I found for the garden. I had these pinned and could only find them in the UK. A woman in Chico made them. I’m beyond thrilled.

@iceberge80 Culling/snipping/thinning upsets me. 🌱

@CountryGirlAt12 I cant prune and not save. Its not in my blood. Its a free plant!

Quite a few of yall asked what kind of strawberries I planted and I had no answer. Here are the 5 varieties I have. I dont know where I planted them or when they fruit.

@iceberge80 Nice!!! 🍓

@CountryGirlAt12 I know. Its been 3 weeks and I already have a baby resting in dirt. 3 shoots on one plant already. Oh well. The neighbors will be happy.

@iceberge80 lol! They have babies you know…🍓

@CountryGirlAt12 Already all flowering like crazy. I planted 102 thinking i woukd get a decent amount. I am now being told I am in for it lol.

@iceberge80 Perfect, you’ll do great! Get them covered before the birds get them. (After they flower and start to produce fruit)

@CountryGirlAt12 I have absolutely no clue about strawberries but it appears seascape it the one I have the most of.

@CrubersGate I was wondering how the day would unfold…

😑 Pop Pop says all the work yesterday “must have been too much” he said (this morning) he felt a “pulling in the incision” when he took a wet sock off his foot… Now the incision is puffy and hurts. I saw he had to ride in the truck with his pants unbuttoned… Now the truth is coming out. I told him his guts might come out too if them stitches have pop loose - but thats between him, and his Jesus. Im over it. After three weeks of perfect healing; he likely undid all of that good yesterday… It ain’t even been a month yet and the restrictions was 5lbs for three weeks then ease up but no he toted 2-3 50lb feed sacks to give wild ass turkeys day before yesterday. Then yesterday he rode a 65,000lb wheel loader up and down, up and down, up and down on thar 90’ ramp for 7 hours; then asshat mowed about 15 hillside acres for another 3 hours when he come home. So I can only imagine he has exceeded his ROM limit and has likely popped a internal dissolvable stitch (or two) today by just straining to pull off a damn WET SOCK. This is my life.

@MAGAWoodworker The most simple landscapes are often the most stunning.

Have a great night.

@trumpetlill Those are really great for cats!

@CountryGirlAt12 I've had a catio made it's lovely. My cats love it and they are safe, more so from cars as opppsed to prey. They aren't out terrorising /killing wildlife or shitting in neighbours gardens. I would have had cat safe fencing but I can't.

I am so frustrated! We have new neighbors who have moved in, and their two cats are using my raised beds as their personal potty. As many of my friends know, I’m not a cat person. Not on my counters where I cook, not destroying my furniture, and not in my garden beds!

@susipjensen I’ve had that conversation in length. We have coyotes, bald eagles, hawks and owls. I told him zero cats survive in our area outside. These are juvenile littermates. The family is allergic so they can only stay in the garage and outside.

@CountryGirlAt12 to discuss this is not only helpful to you, but also to them. Nearly all outdoor cats in our neighborhood are gone/preyed upon by birds and coyotes. Everyone who has cats (that survive) keep them indoors. There is an exception with barn cats. They seem to know how to survive.

I have had multiple conversations with the homeowner about the coyotes and birds of prey in our area regarding free roaming outdoor cats. My husband thinks it’s confrontational to tell him they’re using our beds. Thoughts…?

@LADYFROGPOND @Richadetta The acreage is deeper than it is wide.

@wilson_dunham_f Wow!!! 🥰

Redbud 1, late frosts 0.

@MidwestMorals They know we are organic farmers here.

@CountryGirlAt12 I’d set up anti cat stuff around the beds & them pay for it. Start up a convo NOW/TODAY & say they are ruining your garden & you’ve got pretty bad chemicals that can & will hurt your cats. See what they do! You then say well we could compromise if you’re willing to buy:

@Lorrain06924262 Fantastic!

@CountryGirlAt12 My next door neighbour has 3 cats the ultra sound scarers on amazon work, my vegetable beds are now uncovered no soiling

@Justme20906998 Thank you, my husband is busy ordering a few of the suggestions!

@CountryGirlAt12 Thats a lot of de fence…pun intended 🤣. Is there a spray repellant? A bb gun pumped just enough to teach a lesson will work too..

@Okiegirl4real We have way too many beds here for that.

@CountryGirlAt12 Use plastic forks upside down with the fork upright intot he garden. They poke themselves while trying to use it for a litterbox. Worked for me when my neighbor was a cat lady.

@Justme20906998 15’ thick dense laurel hedge tightly encompassing 6’ cattle panels.

@CountryGirlAt12 Um? No fence??! Just do it

@JoChristianse13 @BellaCatPier @JS07100909 @Pattyca33355681 Wow, that’s awful.

@BellaCatPier @JS07100909 @Pattyca33355681 @CountryGirlAt12 You really are a bloody simpleton, if you think there is anything funny about cats killing wildlife. catbib.com.au/blogs/news/cat…

@ultramagaboomer How did that affect your dog?

@CountryGirlAt12 In a previous home I sprinkled coffee grounds in the flower bed. Lots of them. Cats hate getting the grounds on their paws. It worked for me and also kept bunnies away.
