Groundhog adventures
We caught a groundhog on Saturday in one of the Havahart traps. Andy Smith, Mike Jordan, and I then took him in a ride in Mike’s van and let him go across a field. The poor thing was terrified!! But hopefully he’ll be fine now and won’t be munching on our veggies.
The trap is NOT set right now, but if you see signs of groundhogs, let me know and we’ll set it again.
Left: The little guy in the trap. He looked so sad!
On the Right: Andy Smith and Mike Jordan getting him ready for the ride over to the field (and Andy’s videotaping him too, of course! 🙂 )
Wildlife at the Garden!
We’ve had a lot of cool wildlife spottings at the garden including an Indigo Bunting, vultures, and lots more. Let me know if you see something cool, I’m keeping a list. (Or if you could snap a picture, that’d be great too!) Also, I’ll be working on updating the website over the next couple months to include a section on wildlife.
We’ve got a resident in the bird box I put up. It’s a tree swallow. Over the summer, there’s going to be lots more blue bird houses installed by a local boy scout troop, so we’ll have even more company out there! And some organic pest control. 🙂
