The finale of the night was about 4 babies and several cows in front of windows. Nim was stone silent then. I think that was an overwhelming number. Unfortunately they were too quick for me to get a good photo of all of them. I wish they would eat things I actually need eaten. Not that I care what they eat, but they could help me with some weeding.
In garden news I grew a bean! I ate it. It probably could have been there a little longer, but good stuff.
Today I had to give the Nasturtiums some tough love. I think they are drowning my peas. I did some serious pruning and going forward will do better keeping them under control. This variety is the vine type and they are hooking on all over the peas.
I did a quick search on "eating too many nasturtiums" and I think I will be OK. It has been a few hours now and I am not sick or anything. I think they are kind of like radishes in taste personally. They are good also in preventing scurvy. :) The stems aren't bad when they are fat and watery, but the spindly, vine ones are tough to chew.
I leave you tonight with this cute little guy...
He insists on living in the fenced area with Nim. Not the smartest move. I hope he grows up soon. Baby bunnies just aren't as skilled in survival and he tends to race around in tight darting circles which works Nim into a frenzy. At least the adults just bolt straight out of the yard.
Have a good night (or good morning) depending when you read!
You crack me up, "I grew a bean! I ate it." The elk are beautiful. We haven't seen our deer much this year, but we too have a stupid baby bunny in our fenced yard. They seem to be able to get in, but never leave. At least there is a lot of shrubbery for him to hide in.

Nothing I grow is safe from my eating...if only I could grow chocolate chips. :)
DeleteI LOVE the elk. I am hoping the family come through again today. The babies are so full of it right now. I never want anything to happen to them. My neighbors are going strong with shooting and fireworks still every night, I am sure the wildlife loves it. :(
And you have two dogs! That bunny is playing with fire!
You are so lucky to have such beautiful creatures in your yard! I'm talking about the larger ones. I did have a wild bunny have babies in my yard once. Once they were old enough to get out of the nest, it only took them a couple days to wonder off.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you didn't get sick eating your nasturtiums. You're brave.
Congrats on your bean!!! I am so mad at myself for not growing a garden this year! I love that you have wild animals in your backyard. I live in a subdivision. I just get visits from the neighbor's cat. lol!
