Re. Squirrels: Shoot em To boot em There will still be 'enuf to go around They are good eating & nutritionally sound I have hit pay dirt this year. Live so far north, our short growing season limits us - but a very unusual hot spell the first of May got me 'agoin. I planted 18 tomatoes in a well chicken manured strip I had prepared and covered them at night. Seven really got clipped in a freeze, but not completely and they have come back sensationally. We now have tomatoes starting to come on and the plants are loaded - and for these northern parts, the weather is unusually warm, adding to their phenomenal production. I wish your squirrels "unwell." OMB

>Also, as I've gardened over the years, I'm beginning to wonder if utilizing farmer's markets during the summer wouldn't be cheaper in the long run. After one figures all of the expenses associated with r1 raising a garden, does it really make sense to continue with it? With tomatoes still at $1.49/lb at the stores for the runts and 1.99 for large ones, might break even on the garden this year :) I should have gone for one of the early varities - I'd be eating them already. With all the worst case predictions for Y2K, we may all need our gardens in a couple of years.
