Couple of requests for pictures of the Gopher moat. So the picture shows on the left 2 apple trees and all the way down at the end a fig tree. Each of the trees used to have a trench dug around it. That trench has now been filled in with compost etc. But it makes the trench on the left a little ragged. Doesn’t bother me and I think the trees will be happy with the compost. Down the center is my tractor path. To the right is the outside trench and the Gophers au natural area. There is also lots of mustard that I am pulling out and it is where I let the Gophers that I dug up go. Well two of them, the other two I let go up where I had seen the bobcat and her kittens. She had two this year and from the internet the suggestion is that they often have two but 1 doesn’t make it. So I hope if the extra Gophers were caught and eaten it allowed both the kittens to make it. It is an ecosystem people please don’t kill everything.
