Protect Ripening Fruit with Newspaper
By 15mhhm15
In our yard, we have been experiencing more wild animals lately (i.e.: birds, rats, rabbits, etc.) especially since our yard is near a canyon. These animals are eating our fruit! It is quite frustrating watering these fruit trees, watching the fruit grow, and then finding them eaten/ruined.

This year we had a real bumper crop of extra radishes and so I researched to find out other ways to use them rather then just adding them to salads. By quartering and roasting them with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and your favorite herbs, they are a tasty, mild (roasting removes all the heat of the radish) plus a little crunchy, and moist. They were a surprise even to me, but enjoyed by all!

One of my favorite perennials is the Phygelius, commonly known as the cape fuchsia. I include them in my garden because they attract hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators. They are a dependable bearer of lovely, warm hued flowers from spring, thoughout the summer, and into fall.
