At first glance, you think the moral of the video below is “don’t bite off more than you can chew’. However, if you stick with it, you realize that this video is about perserverance. Don’t know the origin, but it truly says “If at first you don’t succeed, TRY, TRY AGAIN”! The fishermen filming this Eagle say in the video that the fish weighted about ten pounds.
The top line holding up the far end of the Honeydew/Cantaloupe vines broke and the vines all sagged. After adding additional string, the vines and melons were lifted again without damaging either the vines or the melons. A honeydew melon growing through the fence was also discovered. At harvest time, we will have to cut this melon out.
Thus far, all of the pumpkin leaves that were eaten were either in the goat area or in unfenced areas. This morning we discovered that something had eaten the pumpkin vines in the fenced area. Whatever it was, the culprit only ate pumpkin leaves, and not Jerusalem artichoke leaves, honeydew leaves, or cantaloupe leaves. This fenced area is very narrow and there were no deer tracks, so we don’t think a deer jumped the fence. We need more cameras if we are going to find our new culprit.
Fishing on a six-fish day at the Louisiana lake was productive. This lake is under management and any bass caught that measures under 14 inches is removed. Fish over 14 inches are returned to the water. The number of bait fish is a limiting factor for both the size and number of bass. Removing the bass under 14 inches leaves more food for the larger bass. The objective of this management is to have a lake with larger and healthier bass. The fish in the picture below was released and is still swimming in this lake.
