Sounds like you'll have a nice orchard.

Dug the carrots and beets today, about a third of the carrots had split and were rotted (back to the soil from whence they came), the other 2/3 filled a wheelbarrow. Beets  seed crop  Hey steev, I harvested some cats just for you, but they wouldn't stay in the basket.  |

Looks like it was a particularly good year for cats!

What variety did you plant? My cat-trees never produce that much!

They're like weeds, been trying to control the population for years. Managed to get them all fixed just to have a pregnant stray show up.

That's only half of them. Too bad their food can't be grown in the garden.

Of course it can, plant things attractive to birds and rodents.

Already have a mature walnut but the squirrels are smart and stay away, and the cats wont touch the magpies. Maybe a small meadow would attract more chow.

I did more work on the raspberry patch. This series of images was not planed, it was just a happy accident that each path was at a different stage. This is what the whole patch use to look like only worse, unkept, canes hanging out all over the place.  This one the canes have been put back inside the trellis.  This one I have the ditch dug out deeper and the path graded so in theory water will run off the path into the ditch.  Last ones all mulched, wood chips around the canes and grass clippings and leaves down the path.   |

Looks much better! Hopefully the plants will reward you for all your hard work.
