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

Thumbs up Here's my before and after pictures

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.

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

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,
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.

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.

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...
