Pre season

[strong eagle]

i have two types of bugs i have to take care of here. my chokecherries get tent catepillers, i just cut out the tents and throw them 100 yards away in a pile. the gooseberries in the spring as soon as they leaf out get a tiny green worm and i spray them once and they are done and dont come back the rest of the year. all the rest of the plants tolerate what else is out their. a bee man put a 100 hives about 100 yards form my place and i think that helps with a lot of things. the bull snakes eat a lot of things here including garder snakes. a huge bull snake chased a huge garder snake around my yard and finally they went under a shed. only the bull snake came out and he was a lot fatter when he did. we have a lot of voles here and they can do a lot of damage. they killed off a bunch of my mongolian apricot trees a couple of years ago by eating the roots. hate those little bastards.

They have all been in there the last two days. If I'd get about 20 more, I wouldn't even need a rototiller.
