Is that owl supposed to scare away the zombies or robot mole men?

SwedeSteve · 07-19-2008, 09:32 AM

Or attack squirrels ??

The "before" picture was taken just after a tornado stuck my neighborhood on May 2nd. Not much left there except fallen tree limbs.

The "after" pictures were taken about a month ago. Most of those vines are now six feet tall and beginning to bear delicious bright red juicy tomatoes...except for the few that squirrels steal.

Mad Hatter · 07-19-2008, 04:59 PM

that owl is supposed to scare away birds and squirrels and stuff.
somebody tell the robins that sit on his head.

TexasT · 07-23-2008, 07:40 AM

As long as it keeps away the RMM your garden should be safe.

ArkansasHunter · 07-23-2008, 07:44 AM

Nice pictures guys and billy I like flowers too. Oxford I suppose thats the garden the squirrels are robbing you of your maters LOL

EDIT: billy you ought to put a trellis between the flowers and your house and plant something to cover the trellis.

billy · 07-23-2008, 10:28 PM

well shoot... i half expected to see planters blown to smithereens.... but now i think i might start a victory garden resurgence... i already got potatoes sprouting in the cabinet and i think i got some bean sprouts left over from last week's chili

billy · 07-27-2008, 06:08 AM

the lil old lady that lives next door came over yesterday and told me my garden was beautiful.
that felt good.
she's a nice ol gal.

Maiken · 07-27-2008, 06:30 AM

It is really beautiful. =)

billy · 07-27-2008, 06:36 AM

thank you.
every day it has a few more blooms.
this was an easy project.
once i hauled the iron fence over here.
i dont have to weed.
the flowers outgrow them.

Billy,
What a transformation of your yard, not to be confused with trans fats mentioned in another CA thread...LOL. Wild flowers are so appealing.

Yours too Oxford...nice looking veggies you've got there.

billy · 07-27-2008, 08:20 AM

the sweet lil ol lady asked me if i was married.
i said no maam.
she said GOOD!
single is better.
i never expected that!

LiveToShoot · 07-27-2008, 08:23 AM

In my single days I used to associate with older gals...and it was just plain good fun to be with them, without the worries of one trying to corner ya.

LiveToShoot · 07-27-2008, 08:28 AM

Back to the gardening...yesterday I spend a couple of hours in our Lawn & Garden department caring for trees and flowers, giving them a good watering and making sure they were ok. It sure felt nice to be outside and around plants...
