Pumpkin Defense System

If you want your jack o lanterns to last til All Hallows' eve- this is what you do in our hood. Rough squirrels round here.

Mulched Paths

Looking good! 

The trick is to use tons of mulch in the paths. Makes everything look good and organized. Doesn't stop the squirrels from taking 70% of your food. 

The Mulch is Flowing Again

Haven't got any of the Arlington County mulch In a while. Trying not to stink up the car. Finally we decided to try to get another load delivered - we were nervous after the last time. It was so much work to deal with it all. Turns out, getting a wheel barrow made all the difference . So much easier this time around. The half load costs $40 and that's 2 and a half cubic yards . Pretty good deal. So I'm mulching all the paths and things are looking a lot better.

Beans

Planted regular cooking beans as a cover crop. Bunnies liked em so much we only got two beans. Here they are.
