I didn't have time to check the trap the next morning, but later that afternoon i remembered to go look during nap time. I could see that the trap had been sprung but i couldn't see inside too well- but i knew it wasn't woodchuck colored!
It was, of course, playing dead...or napping. But it ate all the bait and the paper plate it was served on.
I called my oldest daughter out to see it and help me set it free. She thought it was pretty cool.
We released it and watched it scamper/waddle away.
Other than that, not much else going on. I'm noticing that many of my cabbage & broccoli seeds are not coming up- though i planted 3 or 4 in each station. Its disappointing and yet another example of why i should start the seeds in flats next year. It makes me want to head to the greenhouse again. At least i don't want big gaps. There's a 90% chance of my doing just that today.
I need to get the corn planted. "Knee high by the 4th of July" is the adage and if i don't get to it soon, it will only be ankle high by then.
I've hardened-off the eggplant and peppers. They will go in when i find a block of time. I should be able to do this on Saturday.
