    That's it! I never knew what kind of tree it is. I just read up on the care of it and I've been doing everything right. Whoohoo!

    Took my tractor over to my neighbor's place yesterday to redo and expand his garden. We pulled stakes with my front end loader & chains, then hooked up my PTO tiller.

    This is one half of what we did:

    Some of that was tilled last year, much was fresh ground.

    You mean that weird circle in the middle of the pic? That's a reflection from inside my car window. I grabbed the pic as I drove past this morning.

    Nice sized plot do you know what you're going to be growing there?

    That's my neighbor's place I did for them. They usually do tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, stuff like that. They won't use all that space but opening it up like that makes it easier for me to get my tractor in there and till it for them. We talked about them planting corn, since seed is cheap and they got the room for it.

    Here's one I did in my yard , but even after putting up that electric fence deer still jumped it, so it's now overgrown.

    That's beautiful, I love vegetable gardening. My plot is much smaller I used to start as much as 200 tomato plants a year and peppers eggplant cabbage and some flowers for my wife's Garden. I miss it now I just do container gardening, and purchase the plants. Good luck with your Garden.

    I used to have a small garden in my place outside of DC. I was in the house for over 30 years, and at some point the trees blocked the sunshine, so I could no longer have a garden. I love fresh tomatoes and peppers.

    I hope to resurrect part of this large one I plowed by installing a perimeter fence around the one you see in the pic. Lots of sources indicate that a second fence about 3 feet outside the existing one will keep them away. Apparently, deer have poor depth perception, so they stop at first fence and can't calculate the ease with which they could jump both of them. (I wonder if that's why they dash out in front of cars.)

    The infuriating thing is I planted 3 dozen tomato & pepper plants one year, and they were eaten down to the nub within a week. My neighbors have a 4 foot tall fence and tell me that a family of deer sleep in the yard next to it and they never intrude on the garden.

    I don't have a deer problem where I live however after 40 Years of gardening at this location, the last five or six I've had squirrels eating my green tomatoes. They will take a bite out of one of them and then go to another.

    I got hawks.

    My house and garden sit in the middle of 7 cleared acres (everything around that is wooded.) The squirrels do not dare venture out into the open. Rabbits are pretty cautious as well.

    I had maybe 10 bird feeders at one time, to include an open tray where I put dried fruits & nuts for the woodpeckers. I never had a squirrel problem.

    I love my hawks.
