2012. I hope it throws me less curveballs than 2011 but who the hell knows. I know one thing, i look back at pics like this from last year and i am getting excited for the new season. I have been live trapping squirrels this winter and relocating them to a nice big park 3 miles down the road. I caught one every day for 8 days straight using peanuts. i trapped when weather was warmer so they can get adjusted in their new environment with a little less stress and a better chance at survival. this week is warming up so i will keep going. i have only seen one since in 2 weeks and the ones nesting on my property have all been relocated. the family of red squirrels were the fiestiest and the ones that would go through the patch. too much hard work for the nibbling on the main vines. gonna take a soil sample soon here when this weeks weather defrosts the patch completely. i want to have my ammendments ready to incorporate at the first good window i have this spring cuz last year was very tricky with the wet cold spring and this years pattern looks to throw out moisture now every 4 days or so and may be a repeat on the wet side. i fear diseases and bugs with the mild winter will be tough this year so i will be putting down a good solid dose of rootshield when the soil warms in the spring and i will be getting my greenhouses up earlier this year to get soil cooking sooner to hatch the corn seed maggots and avoid last years start. Here is a toast to 2012 Georgie Boy as I am ready to put a different ending on the 2012 IGPGA weigh off video. You might want to find that extension piece for the belt to fit around my fat belly....lol. i can dream can't i?
