     they've been sprouting and able to push up out of the   
   ground.  i wasn't even sure the seeds were any good so   
   i'm glad to see them poking up.  :)  it took long enough   
   for them to germinate that i wondered...  cool soil i   
   worried they rotted.   
      
     now i have to make sure i can keep the groundhogs out   
   of that garden for a bit longer (they usually don't get   
   through the fence, but once in a while one of them will   
   climb or find a way through).   
      
     we mowed yesterday for the first time, that will also   
   help deter the groundhogs if they don't have cover to   
   get through i can see them and plink at them.  the one   
   that comes through once in a while is now smart enough   
   to go running if i open the patio door or if there is   
   any noise from this direction.  i was hoping i could   
   remove it before it had babies...   
      
     i really need to get that fence up soon.  deer tracks   
   all over and they're making a mess of things not counting   
   what they're eating.  also the time sensitive thing is   
   that i have to have it up before the lilac tree in the NE   
   corner starts flowering.   
      
     i may just do that today.  i have been trying to get   
   other things done and so putting it off.   
      
     no frost in the forecast.  i wonder if i should risk   
   planting some early beans.  the buckwheat is sprouting so   
   at least i know the ground temperature is getting close   
   to warm enough.  i have some beans that i found out are   
   really supposed to be cooler weather types but sadly i   
   doubt they'll survive a hard frost and i don't have that   
   many seeds to risk - choices, choices...
