Today I started by checking on the hickory tree that I have been waiting for the nuts to fall off of so that I could plant it in a few spots around the property. When I got there the nuts were all gone. I search through the bushes looking for any left on the ground but to my disappointment, even though my research says the bitternut hickory is even a last resort for squirrels, the squirrels or chipmunks did get desperate enough. Next year I will come by earlier for the nuts.
Then I went to check on my tomatoes...they were fine yesterday almost ripe in fact. Today the only ripe tomatoes were eaten. Next year I invest in some heavy duty chicken wire and begin the fight against nature.
The only good news is so far most of the apples have remained and I managed to find an untouched blackberry bush.
