Animals are having their impacts. Deer have been an issue. They did find a few crops that I was experimenting with carrying over from the winter season, but all of those things I was trying to carry over were eaten by the deer. We tried to cover them with Remay netting, but the wind caught it and blew it off and the deer moved right in. They ate turnips, not just the tops, the bulbs too. I have never seen deer eat turnips.

There’s also a bunch of squirrels nesting in the old bee boxes in the barn. They’re really not harming anything there - and better that they’re there than nesting in some of the other farm equipment. So we just leave them.
