Thanks for the information about the Mason Bee. <br /><br />We are having trouble with the Carpenter Bees boring into our soffits. <br /><br />The next time I have to buy a mower, I am definitely going to look for a Snapper! <br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-51347947363269725342011-08-14T12:30:35.965-06:002011-08-14T12:30:35.965-06:00The berries above are Red Lake Currants.

I hate to put any more money into it but can't afford a new one as of yet. Our push works but has busted through the base...we're having such bad luck with lawmnowers, oye! BTW, the photo of the berries above is what I mistook for thimbleberry. What berry is that and is it edible?Peggyhttp://chasingfreedomfarm.weebly.com/blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-76179275530486787722011-08-14T06:17:13.008-06:002011-08-14T06:17:13.008-06:00This is a fantastic idea.

This is quite the endeavor I wish I was close enough to see it. I think you will be very pleased with all your hard work in a few years. The fruit and nuts and just the beauty of it all will be worth it. I even like the thought of the horse even though I am sure you will be pleased with the bounty you have planted.<br /> Great job I have to go and tell My Hero about the mower it sounds great.<br /> BButtons Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029439906543077861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809908055754014264.post-22425534318483844502011-08-14T06:10:16.016-06:002011-08-14T06:10:16.016-06:00Wow first I have to say your brother is an amazing...Wow first I have to say your brother is an amazing poet.
