I kinda like people who aren't tech savvy. It means you're more interested in the real world than the virtual world. Fortunately, I'm married to my Tech Support Guy, so I've got the best of both worlds.<BR/>BTW, I enjoy your quirky blog!<BR/>WeepingWeeping Sorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617503185773155102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026160.post-56473424056306231662008-07-20T16:51:00.000-07:002008-07-20T16:51:00.000-07:00I empathize.

Before I sow a second crop, closer to fall weather, I'll put up taller fencing.<BR/><BR/>And then there are the nasty, brutish, unredeemable Japanese beetles laying waste to my roses again! I may as well abandon all but the double knock-outs.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I got myself a Nut Wizard, and it is the greatest thing since the rototiller! Picks up my fallen walnuts, apples, and pears in a trice. Absolutely worth the $50 I resisted paying for a couple of years.Martha in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337334262585721896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026160.post-8027324512108651092008-07-19T09:51:00.000-07:002008-07-19T09:51:00.000-07:00I've just put up a post about pictures from other ...I've just put up a post about pictures from other people's blogs which have especially stuck in my memory.<BR/><BR/>Amongst these, I've mentioned your one of the roots pushing up through the ground.<BR/><BR/>I can't work out how to make links to photos on blogs in situ so I'm wondering if you would mind if I copied it onto my blog - together with a link to yours.<BR/><BR/>I'd be grateful if you would let me know.<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026160.post-53827027803145733792008-07-19T06:53:00.000-07:002008-07-19T06:53:00.000-07:00Ah, vengeance ... your poor corn.

It sounds near impossible to keep other creatures out of your garden. <BR/><BR/>When will people ever learn that they need to practice water conservation not just pay lip service to it.kate smudgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564410520744285676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026160.post-68354127312711834562008-07-17T15:10:00.000-07:002008-07-17T15:10:00.000-07:00Bummer!

Maybe you could set up a bird feeder and a bird bath, and lure them to the other side of the garden.<BR/><BR/>Btw, I've added you to the Growing Challenge. ; )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026160.post-63590026966178206062008-07-17T13:30:00.000-07:002008-07-17T13:30:00.000-07:00Did you have something shiny (like a pie tin) hang...Did you have something shiny (like a pie tin) hanging near your corn? That's an old-timers' method for keeping the winged critters away, and it usually works.
