I spent a huge chunk of yesterday helping a friend transplant bits of his garden from his old house to his new house. We must have dug up at least forty irises and tons of peonies, marigolds, and various other plants. He was kind enough to split some of the clumps with me, and he's planning to split me some white dutch irises that are already growing at his new place.

What's growing on with you all?

I haven’t been pooping in a banana hole. Instead I’ve been in the battle against squirrels. I’m in a great biodiversity hotspot so I have both ground squirrels ( who’ve decided to adapt and climb my fruit trees) and tree squirrels.
I’ve been excited to eat my nectaplums, so I was cautious and bagged them when they were very small. The squirrels have decided that even though they can’t get into the bags, I deserve punishment so they still knock them out of the tree still green in the bags, and leave a few tooth marks in each.

I just bought some pie plates to try and add baffles and I fully expect some new horror they think of next.
