Moles are okay ...Hey Sissy! no moles are not voles. Moles are okay and they do only eat grubs and such. Voles are spawn of the Devil and eat everything.<br />Sorry to hear about your fruit trees. I don't know if I'll ever get any apples out of mine; it doesn't seem like it sometimes.<br />Well, I hurt now only because of the condition I was recently diagnosed with an I have hurt for years due to that.<br /><br />Hey JO! Well, thanks! I thought it was a bit boring but maybe not too bad.<br /><br />Hey Pam! Yes, I've seen those used as tree decorations! it is pretty. well, so far just planting things that the deer don't like seems to be working. Honestly, i'm too lazy to be having to spray stuff all the time and with 18 acres I just gotta go with things they dislike.<br /><br />Hey Rita! Did you happen to see the post recently about my diagnosis? One easy X-ray is all it took and then a little reading. Not much can be done but I'm glad I know the deal now.MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-67635595682955212492013-06-20T17:44:18.115-05:002013-06-20T17:44:18.115-05:00Annie, I want to hear about your ailments.

So as I read how others are feeling I get a better idea what to research for myself. We have deer at our place. So funny, they look at me like I'm the one who's trespassing! Love to watch them.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287238810628574373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-28810253954019906432013-06-20T12:28:05.331-05:002013-06-20T12:28:05.331-05:00Great post Annie.

One use of the dried stems is Xmas-tree decorations - very Victorian but not fussy. Just tuck them into the tree with the stem pointing inward (obviously, doh!). Also, deer don't like astilbe, I think. This year I am using something called "Liquid Fence" to keep the deer and elk off my unfenced plants. So far seems to work very well! It is basically a solution of egg solids so smells sulfur-y. You could probably make it yourself with your home-cleaner expertise. It is expensive, and you have to re-apply after rain. (That is not such a problem here, haha). Anyway - again, very enjoyable post! --Pampamithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605982455002622554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-14621262526212359802013-06-20T11:19:08.118-05:002013-06-20T11:19:08.118-05:00I love your first photo, whether you realized it o...I love your first photo, whether you realized it or not you captured everything that was going on.

I too am depressed about my apple trees. The "new Mommy" state I enjoyed earlier with zillions of baby apples turned to a 'sick to my stomach' depression when they all disappeared, dropped off. Same thing with my peach tree. Could have fed the community peach pie for a few years. Now I'll be so lucky if there is a handful come harvest. I'm plumb spiritually fallen and quitting the fruit farming.<br /><br />Nice chatty post today. Keep them coming.<br /><br />I like that tall pink bloomer by the creek; also the snowballs bushes. Hey, I found deer tracks here; got me excited. I wonder though if he ate my strawberries before they fully ripened.<br /><br />Law me, Annie, its hard to believe you are hurting so soon. I thought this only happened to old people like me.Caddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575600935524610154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-35726520310307850012013-06-20T09:11:46.311-05:002013-06-20T09:11:46.311-05:00Hey Mark! thanks! nah, I can't rant about Jack...Hey Mark! thanks! nah, I can't rant about Jack! He is too much of a sweetie!<br /><br />Hey Erin! thanks! and thanks for the link! that's great!<br /><br />Hey Woody! haha! well, I might singe some eyebrows with an unedited list of such sayings!<br />Seems you and I are having about the same luck with apple trees, just different culprits! Thankfully the deer don't bother mine but the voles are an underground evil!! Ate the roots completely off one; didn't even realize of course until the thing started dying. They were trying to go after another one so I dug the whole thing up, wrapped the main root in tin foil and planted it again. So far so good. Chigger and Callie catch a vole every now and again so they do try!MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-23769365547893788202013-06-20T06:18:33.078-05:002013-06-20T06:18:33.078-05:00That is an awesome hydrangea.

They have sat on the porch and watched the rats pull one of our apple trees out of the ground. I have officially retired from the apple tree planting business. Between deer, drought and disease I have determined I'm no longer qualified nor financially capable of buying another apple tree.<br /><br />Looking forward to the fine literary work that will develop from the compiling of the list of work site sayings.
