Erica Strauss writes a great blog about urban homesteading, with all kinds of info about preserving and growing food, and she also keeps chickens and ducks. It's a great resource. http://www.nwedible.com/Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-2681432730577358462017-06-17T21:00:24.087-07:002017-06-17T21:00:24.087-07:00Thank you Dramagarden!

I totally see it - the bench cut in half by the trencher. <br /><br />Small gardens are all I've ever had and have never had good luck with veggies or fruits, they need sunshine and good air circulation, something the home gardener cannot easily give up when cramscaping (as I am most guilty of). There's no room for air circulation with 42 plants in a square foot! Ha ha...OY. It's true.

I'm glad I don't have to do it either, Alison. That was one crazy piece of machinery as every piece he's rented has proven to have been. I like your name, I'll let you and FM wrestle it out on that one. Funny you should say that about food preserving skills, we were just talking about that.

FM needs to lay off the sauce, LOL. J/K, I wouldn't want to have to manhandle that big piece of equipment. I think I would have opted for alliteration and called the squirrel Douglas Dray. But Scurry is descriptive.
