Yes, JK @contentandwell we do enjoy the fruits of my labor. The apricot is starting to bud out, and I'm afraid we'll lose the crop bc it will certainly freeze more. Right now I hear hail coming down.
The vegetables I plant are delicata, winter, and crook neck squash, cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, asparagus and mini pumpkins. We have 2 peach trees, 2 pear, 2 apple, 1 apricot, a plum and a crabapple. And a million weeds. Of course it's an ongoing war against ground squirrels, gophers and voles and then there are the earwigs.

@jimhd Oh, my goodness, what a bountiful harvest. I wish I could be your neighbor when you are giving away excess! We also battle squirrels, gophers, and voles here. The voles and moles tunnel under our brick walkway and we have to have the damage fixed almost every year. I think it could cost about $4000 this year, there is a lot of damage. ☹️ Lots of chipmunks too digging holes in the yard.

@jimhd That was my problem when I had my garden. Put a saucer of beer out that will get rid of the moles and sprinkle dried blood around your plants animals wont cross it .
