I discovered the other day I have a beaver making excursions into my back yard and garden. I was somewhat taken aback by this. I have dealt with many different kinds of garden pests (witness this, from a storytelling session years back) , but never beavers. I cannot see where they have been marauding, unless it is in the dying squash vines.
I do have several eggplants ready to pick, and tomatoes are coming in apace and I have a small watermelon thriving. Those Romas are some prolific plants, for which I'm grateful. I'll make more sauce, end of the week, I'm sure. But I'm back to depending on the generosity of friends and neighbors for yellow squash and zucchini; who'd'a thunk it? And cucumbers; the cucumber vines died as well. Do beavers like squash and cucumbers?
The kraut molded, and I chunked it. May have had something to do with the week it was 80 degrees F in the house when the a/c was on the fritz. I'll try again later this year.
