Rabbits are eating my beets. Like, the beets not the leaves. Half of them look like a beaver’s been at them.
scumbag rabbits
My father used to do that. We carved then into jack-o’-lanterns that Peter could have kept his wife in. One year my mother made three pumpkin pies from the eyes/mouth/nose of one pumpkin. (They are watery, any but great for pie. But it was cool she could do it.) They were a lot of fun. Until the pumpkin stem borers found the garden, and he was never able to grow them again.
The neighbor who calls and texts you all the time wanting you to bring her beer?
No, Russ, my male, retired, single, Trump loving, end of the world neighbor that gardens a lot.
Sounds like you need to hook up your neighbors.

My grandmother used to make the pumpkin pie for thanksgiving dinner every year. When I moved away, and wouldn’t be home for thanksgiving, I thought I’d make her recipe myself.
So I went out and bought a nice big pumpkin. Have Gramps a call and asked for her recipe. She starts with ‘one can of pumkin’. Seriously grandma?
Canned stuff tastes better than the flesh of big pumpkins. If you want to cook it from scratch, best to start with the little dry ones, not the soggy-fleshed ones bred to be jack-o’-lanterns.
why would you use a different animal to describe the bites of a very similar animal

Beavers are MUCH larger than rabbits, and it’s their habit to chew up solid objects, like logs. Rabbits mostly eat leaves.
Rabbit (like beavers) have teeth that continue to grow and need to chew &/or eat solid objects.
Is a carrot softer than a beet?
Yes Beavers are larger, but we are talking beets, not pumpkins
Bears should be part of this conversation. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Yep. And bigger than most people think, a lot bigger.
And I’ve seen trees taken down by beavers where the stump where they’ve chewed is 4-5 feet off the ground - no word of a lie.
(It looks pretty crazy in the spring/summer, but it’s actually because they’re taking the trees down in the winter when they’re standing on 3-4 feet of snow).
A deer got into my neighbors’ fort knox garden today:
I wasn’t quick enough to turn on my camera to record how he got it out. Next time…It was HILARIOUS!!!

Probably less hilarious for the neighbor, but would be humorous for the rest of us.

Is this Russ’s garden or the lady neighbour???
NM: I saw the earlier pic.
She’s gonna ask T-roy to plow her fertile field in the spring, imo.
Not if T-Roy fixes her up with Russ.

The neighbor lady left this AM it looks like (back to FL where she moved). She was staying at another neighbors’ home.
Thus, no longer my neighbor.
Russ IS still my neighbor, for now.
Russ, cannot stand either neighbor ladies.
