Coyote haven?

Just a few of the things we’ve seen the coyotes do over the last couple of years. The first is the very first video of “Wiley”, the male. The second is of him “marking” the buckwheat, followed by “Wilma” who looks like she’s going to mark it, too, then changes her mind and takes a dump on it! No respect! He comes around a little later and checks out the scent, maybe being surprised? Could be awkward at home….

A few random videos, including the best rabbit chase out of several, and the last video is of a successful cat-hunt (there is another corrupt one ). We have a bunch more videos, mostly of them of the coyotes sniffing around a bit or pointing, before moving on. We have seen three coyotes together several times, two smaller females (Willetta) and the male, who is also known as “Pretty Boy” around here. Actually, we’ve never met. They’re way too skittish.

Veggie garden update

Lettuce getting big, need to thin out. Carrots coming up, including the second wave of sowing that is most of them. Onions sprouting on target. Germinating cucumber and bean seeds now. Planted one large cherry tomato plant (sweet million) deep in a 20″ pot, starting to grow. I gave it a scoche of lime as one site recommended. The several days of 70-80’s and sun kick started the veggies and some perennials.
