You see how I keep a trap in the yard, well I have 4 squirrel traps too. Soon I will have them set all over to catch the pecan robbers. That leaves the Crows. Found out my portable Scarecrow really works on Crows. I use the pellet rifle of persistent pests.

Wife feeds the birds and squirrels and crows come around too. Somethings gonna have to give when I start having a bunch of figs. Pssss…. I have traps and pellet gun but don’t tell my wife lol

I was on the mower a few minutes ago, noticed the deer smoked one of my Muscadine vines, looked up and a Doe is standing there watching me mow. On the third round I didn't see her, looked over at my vine and she was going to town eating my Muscadines. I tried to run her down! Deer season will be open on my property Oct 1st.

Now that would be a site seeing you chasing a deer on mower.

My Kubota mower does 9mph wide open. I was yelling too, thank goodness sound travels much faster. I picked the vines clean. They should have been stripped anyway being their first year bearing fruit. The vine I cut back had the most, it is a Ison muscadine. Much better tasting muscadines out there. The other 2 that fruited are Southern Home, real sweet compared to Ison.

So one of the figs I propagated I thought it was a LSU Gold but no, not even close. The excessive rains here caused the donor tree to split it's crop well before the outer husk softened. These figs pictured are still hard, very hard.



I'm including a photo of the leaves too. This fig stays as green as pictured when ripe. Any thoughts to variety?

Some type of Adriatic. Maybe a Verte or Green Ischia??? Stan might know.
