PESTS!

So last week I was experimenting with squash bug killer.

I have sprayed 3 times and am satisfied with the results - 

less eggs and no huge infestations (yet).

I am harvesting pumpkins and am excited to put some in the freezer this weekend.

I also have a lot of spaghetti squash ripening.

Now we are working on another pest - bunnies.

I removed one early in the season ...

hubby got another one shortly thereafter ...

but it appears that a litter was left in the garden before the big bunnies were taken care of...

because this week we have removed 3 young rabbits.

I saw another bouncing around this afternoon,

but didn't get to it fast enough.

Supposedly my bug spray should deter them, 

buy I am not convinced ...
I sure hope it was a small litter that was left in the garden.

I am going to try to clean out a little tomorrow - dead leaves, weeds, etc.
 in hopes of removing some hiding places...

this gardening is hard work!
