I took a trip out of the country for the last week and I am glad to see that the auto-publish feature worked without a hitch. I will be getting back to all the comments now.

Obviously was also away from the farm for a week and part of me expects to return to disaster. We will see tomorrow!

My dad was in the area and did me the great favor of dousing my mulberry seedlings with the foul smelling fish/garlic/clove/pepper oil mixture to ward off the deer whom have found the young leaves and branches to be quite tasty.
