Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 We had a mama moose and her coule day old twins in the yard this morning. Mama led them in through the back way and took the tour of the garden. Like kids anywhere, they turned their noses up at the brocolli and cabbage, but snacked on the lettuce and chowed down on the zucchini. They were so cute I almost did not mind. Almost....

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Oh wow Katie, that sounds fantastic - hehe you can tell I don't live anywhere where we would get mooses (mise, moosie, moosi??) wandering into the back garden, can't you, because to me it sounds fantastic, no matter what they ate! But I am someone who once found a row of about 100 caterpillars on her cabbage, and thought they were so cute, (specially the way they all " reared up " in formation when I got too close) I didn't have the heart to remove them, so left them there, so no cabbages that year for us!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Sure did! & nbsp; For a while they lay under my bedroom window, so I got several pictures of them from above and just a few feet away.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I bet that made for very good pictures. How precious to see them up close. Deer are that way around here, but thankfully they don't browse thru our landscape and gardens in our yard. I would be sick if they did. That story that someone here shared about the cabbage worms, was priceless. I've never seen worm that raised up when they saw you, much less a row of them doing it. Too funny. Huge fat green tomato tomato worms are the ones, I get rid of, because they destroy my whole plant very quickly and leave prolific droppings everywhere. http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/CoopExt/4DMG/Pests/tomato.htm Did you know that these tomato hornworms turn into the hummingbird moth? I had to look up these strange looking moths on the internet to discover what they were. They love my butterfly bushes...........

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Tomatos aren't really native to our climate, so fortunately, neither are the tomato horn worms. & nbsp; Do they really have horns. & nbsp; Ogh, how gross.
