11 inch blocks
Because I had some green and blue 8, 8.5 and 9 inch squares
And sew on...

I received a couple of boxes of treasures (scraps) from Doris. One baggie contains a lot of cut pieces for Flying Geese. Oh, I know what I'm going to do with those! Stay tuned...
Who knew that bone meal attracted raccoons big time? I put it in an area where the soil needed a little help before I put in some plants I started this winter. I've never used bone meal before. Well, anyway, next day everything I planted was dug up and area was a disaster. And, the bone meal bag I left out in the barn was torn into and all of it was gone. Yes, research after that showed it attracts raccoons. I salvaged what I could and then sprinkled cayenne pepper around (I have a big jug I use to try to keep voles out of my plants) and sprayed everything with cider vinegar. I went out this a.m. and it looks like all is well.
I was working in my veg garden yesterday - harvesting snow peas and strawberries, weeding around the tomatoes and when I went down to the bottom of the garden there to my surprise was a baby fawn resting in my onion patch. It didn't move even when I clapped my hands several times. I think it must have thought it was hidden and ignored me. I got a little closer to see if it was injured and when it turned it's head and looked at me it scampered off. I don't know what I would have done if it was injured. Now I think I know what has been eating my shelling peas that are planted next to the onions. I have hoops and row covers over those peas but something keeps pulling the row cover off in order to munch my peas!
Ah, the adventures of gardening!

Does put their fawns in vegetation while they go off to feed. The fawns are left for hours at a time and are perfectly fine, so obviously your garden is seen as a safe spot for the baby. Momma is almost certainly the predator of your peas!!!
Ah yes - we don't garden like you do but the local raccoons still wreak havoc around the neighborhood's outdoor dog food bowls, bird feeders, and any unsecured food trash (bad on those homeowners - we all have cans from the city to use the keep wildlife out). I love that your garden is a safe place for the fawn even if Mama gets into your peas.
