More gardening news

Boy, did it rain yesterday! A real soaker. Hey, that meant no one had to wrestle the garden hose around to water anything. Jeff's size 12 footprints became little (?) lakes! The rain was gentle enough that the only thing that got beaten down was the biggest potatoe top. Jeff said Tuesday night the potatoes needed hilling but he didn't get around to it. Guess it will have to wait until Saturday coz it's thundering & starting to rain right now and tomorrow we both have medical appointments in Cooperstown.

Last night I tried to take a few photos of one of the resident toads in the garden. Hopefully I can get it to download. If there is a photo of something unrecognizable here, be sure to click on it to enlarge it. The toads are about 1 1/2 to 2" long and really jump when the tiller is moving! Dawg just looks at it. Of course, she just looked at the mouse in the house last night, too. Guess providing protection against toads, snakes and mice are not in her job description.
