Coffee Break #36 - Spring is finally here!

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

I have been staying away from freecycle... man that thing is dangerous to bring home someones junk... we have too much stuff now!!!

Well turn around and Freecycle it :-) I suckered Jim into a Old Castiron wood stove. It does have a crack that will have to be fixed before use. If he dont fix it then it will go to salvage for money.

very long day yesterday - was at the hospital at the crack of dawn - my fil had a valve replaced and thankfully everything went as planned and the early signs are he is ahead of schedule - they were able to take him off the respirator a few hours earlier than expected and he was able to speak with my mil briefly last evening.

looks like he will be able to supervise the veggy garden planting next month - hopefully he will sit still as my mil and wife plant things to close and step on just planted plants:) always have a couple of hours of "re-planting" to do - i'm looking forward to next year when he will back planting and weeding:)

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Best of luck to him!!

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

closer and that's the closest I was getting to it

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

It sure looks like one.

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

yes it does look like one.. had no idea they could climb ... better get a trap Jen... the one that was here destroyed the whole garden in one day

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

I didn't know they could climb either...hence the name GROUNDhog...lol!!!!

Wall-e was barking and growling like crazy so I knew he had something.

South Hamilton, MA

They do climb in emergencies. guess Wall-E was one. Maybe it will change locations on its own.

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

I would keep Wall-E out there all day!!! and night!!!!

Southeast, MA(Zone 6b)

Sure looks like one to me too. They are members of the rodent family so I guess it is not unheard of but I never saw one climb up a tree. I suppose if I was a ground hog and a dog with big teeth was coming after me I could learn to climb really fast too.

I have a question for anyone who grows oriental poppies. Do they flower the first year or does it take a few seasons for them to get mature enough to bloom?

:(

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

kill it

Bill your fil will be able to advise you as to moving Rocks and more

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Good luck to your FIL Bill....

Groundhogs are nothing but giants rats...if you trap it take it far far away...they come back!

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

I took mine more than 10 miles away... they didn't come back

South Hamilton, MA

illegal to rehouse them in MA. A knock on the hear would be better. the worst is if one goes missing, another will take its place.

Bill, good luck to your FIL.

My male cat keeps wanting to go outside and he's driving me nuts. I feel bad for him on one hand. He's neutered, so that's not it. I think it's just spring calling. He's only ever been indoors, but he's the adventurous type. If I lived on 40 acres, I'd let him duke it out with the coyotes, but here, I'm on the corner of two busy roads. I won't dare let him duke it out with a car.
