According to the interwebs, the last reported swarms of the Rocky Mountain locust were 1873 to 1877. There hasn't a single live specimen found since 1902, and it is thought to be extinct. The odds of them coming out of their 150ish year hiding is directly proportionate to how well my garden does. I'd say there's a about a 50% chance of this year being their year. LOL.

They will wait until you think you can harvest a pie…

You can only eat cake

Saskatoon berry bed is done and they're planted. Hopefully where I put them isnt too shaded. Unfortunately, Im running out of sunny spots around the outside of the yard.

My two legged whitetail buck run down BSD's street worked, the rains have returned to the Plains! Good thing my tomatoes are supported by cages as I had to look twice to confirm that it wasn't hail falling - big raindrops pelting the crap out of everything.

All my plants survived nature's aggressive watering and even better news - I believe some homes are going up for sale on BSD's street!

The ones on his street that are not going up for sale now are likely Bud Lite drinkers! And are waiting and hoping for next years parade!

You may get a big sponsorship deal from your city council and Bud Lite for more parades in June.

I totally overlooked your BSD-sized Jenga puzzle sitting on the end of the bench!

I made all the raised beds 6 ft long. Those are the 2 ft cutoffs.

I think we all heard you the first time!

Yeah yeah. You know what we did with the last perfect guy right ? We nailed that poor SOB to a cross and left him there to die. I don't really want to be like him. LOL. Double post deleted.

We're actually getting some long slow rain today. I almost forgot what it was like. Lol. All I did today was put some fencing around my Saskatoon berry bed to keep the 4 legged heathens out of it. Oh...I lie. I harvested our first salad today. Yesterday I put 20 strawberry plants along the outside of the raspberry beds. I figure there's little hope of the raspberry bushes reaching the outside of them this year, so I might as well get something out of the space. They were those bare root ones they have in packages at Canadian Tire. They didnt look too great, but I guess we'll see if they do anythhing.
