The continuing saga of Mama Bear and her three Cubs as This scene greeted me Thursday morning. They destroyed 2 sacks of Rice Hulls, 2 Chicken Manure and 2 of 4 bags of Steer Manure. I was able to reclaim most of it and put it in secure? containers…

Oh, my. Over the years, in both Oregon & northern california, we had a few bear visits, with resulting damage. Worst case was when one ran full speed down my brother’s ridge top site, into the back of his chicken yard, and out the front, never slowing down. It never even noticed the chicken wire, but you can bet the chickens noticed it, though...and that the wire was missing.

At least you were able to salvage most of that material.

Last night, the deer feasted on a couple more okras. One still has one little pod on it.

Brought in some new zealand spinach this morning, along with some tomatoes, mustard and peppers (jalapeno, red bell, banana and hot dark green wrinkled ones). Thanks to whomever recommended the spinach because it’s grown all summer, clear of disease and doesn’t wilt or bolt in hot weather. It’s a keeper!

Update on the maters - the Amish Plum and Porter are coming on! The Black Cherry maters are twice the size of the ones earlier now with temps dropping into the lower 90s.

The late garlic and ginger are doing well. Hope the ginger can survive in it’s pot until it’s brought in and gets a bigger pot next month for the first freeze because it’s going great guns (knock on wood).
