No Joke to See This

[MacKenzie]

What a Surprise I got this morning when I checked the camera pixs from over night.

It reached up 7 feet and pulled down 2 of my bird feeders so I spent the first part of the morning repairing them. I will be taking down at night until bear season is over.  !!!!

While we are at it I had a tapas bar built for feeding the critters mainly for the winter so I can feed right from the deck. The menu is pretty sparse but they seem to like it. This bar closes about 10:00 to avoid feeding unwanted critters , like raccoons and bears.

Thought I might just as well add a couple of pixs from the rebuild of my square foot garden boxes.

Mac, why am I not surprised at how beautiful your home is?

Beautiful garden! I used to do square foot gardening, but my current home is tucked a bit into the woods and can barely even grow grass in some spots due to the shade.

Just stunning, MacKenzie! 

Next time, leave a picnic basket out for Yogi and he might leave your bird feeders alone!

What a beautiful garden and home. Love it

Hey MacKenzie, is that a studio/guest house you got there....looks so serene, bar the odd bear popping in out of the blue 

[MacKenzie]

BonFire, that is my sunroom, and it has a small woodstove for the winter to keep things toasty. I use it all year long, great views, peaceful and as you said serene even during the blizzards. It has windows all way round and I can see my KKs from my chair.

Looks like the best room in the house...love how it flows off your entertaining area

That looks absolutely lovely @MacKenzie.  I am really grateful to you for introducing me to square foot gardening, it has been great so far.  The only thing I don't envy is your weather.  Frost in June?  Really???

Beautiful home Mac!   I can understand why the bear would want to stop by for dinner.  I think all of us on the forum would like to as well!

Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

[MacKenzie]

Thanks everyone.  I appreciate your comments.

[MacKenzie]

@ tekobo, I hope you enjoy this method of gardening as much as I do.  You might get to eat out of yours this summer where I might not, the temp. today is a whopping high of 13C with rain. This is the worst summer I can remember. Yes, we are always at risk of frost until the middle of June but normally we have gorgeous days with nice temps. I even put a fire on in the living room this morning.

[Bruce Pearson]

Mac I hope warmer weather arrives soon. And bears only come around at night or preferably not at all.

I'm just the opposite here right now, MacKenzie. It's in the upper 90s - way hot for this time of year. Hoping my stuff doesn't burn up in this heat. Some of my tomato and pepper plants are flowering already. 

[MacKenzie]

Tony, we are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.  Maybe we could meet in the middle.

To be expected. He musta smelled one of your cooks and was late for the invite_.

Hey Tyrus, I've missed your sense of humour.  I still laugh whenever I remember you fessing up to not being snow bound and that you'd manage to fool us into thinking your Jack Russells were perimeter patrolling Great Danes.
