At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
Squirrels? They eat mushrooms locally.Had a big Morell Hall this morning. The son and I went out before school. 27 of them .Wife strung them on the porch to dry out, for storage in jars. Hung them about a foot above the banister.
I got up today, and something had pulled all of them off the string, and hauled them off.

Lots of mornings, I find bits of mushrooms in the birdbath...................I'm guessing coon's because they like to wash their food and it happens during the night.

Folks around here are paying over 40 bucks a pound for Morels. Lots of low lifes trespassing to steal Morels from rural woodlands. You sure someone that wanted them didn't see them out on the porch?
We have the same problem in Fall with Ginseng, trespassing and theft. The gov't has made my solution illegal.

Trespassing isn't a problem around here. You must have written permission, in your pocket, from the landowner. If not, it's off to jail. One can post property two ways. Signage or paint a section of tree bark with a swath of purple paint. I use the paint cause it can't be removed, easily.

Not Morel, but I too had an uninvited invader yesterday.Had a big Morell Hall this morning. The son and I went out before school. 27 of them .Wife strung them on the porch to dry out, for storage in jars. Hung them about a foot above the banister.

I transplanted Tomatoes and Peppers on Tuesday. It rained on and off yesterday. Sometime during the day, a critter with feet like a small dog felt the urge to dig in the freshly worked, rained on soil where I had stuff planted. A small fence and tomatoes cages didn't discourage the critter. There was digging marks by every single plant (about 40 or so). All the Jalapenos were totalled, about 1/3 of the tomatoes have damage, one is surely totaled, but I'm hoping most will pull through the trama...and only two (of the 19) bell pepper plants were totaled. I think I have enough spare plants leftover, in the flats to replace totaled plants, but the sad part is I planted the best looking ones, so what's left are fugly to say the least.
I have an inkling of which neighborhood dog in may be. The only one in the neighborhood that gets loose once in a while, but I didn't see him...so I need to just forget it happened and move on, but I was upset to say the least...yeah it's only a small thing and shouldn't let it bother me.

I've made loading blocks from leftover chucks of 2x10 and have found that I prefer them over commercial loading blocks. Made a small one to hold .30 cal bullets as I sized, lubed and installed gas checks. Makes it easier to keep track of the count.
CW mention acrylics. A word of caution if drilling on a drill press. Some plastics will grab the drill and rip the piece out of your hands if holding down on the table. Always have it up against a rest to prevent it from spinning. Some are gooey enough that they will climb right up the drill bit. Be careful drilling plastics.

My wife used to grow cherry tomatoes in her garden next to our camp. The neighbors across the street told us that the squirrels knew when we were there and when we weren't. They said that more than once, they were sitting on the porch and as we were going up the street in the car, a squirrel would climb up into the planter and start picking tomatoes and flinging them on the ground. Said it looked like a scene out of a movie. Wife was not amused.

Well had some gray squirrels hanging around today. I have never saw a gray squirrel on my back yard till today. Across the drive but never in my yard. Figure they are coming back for seconds.
Never sold a morel, they never made it past my plate or pantry.
Most people around here eat a few fresh picked and fried . As for the rest just dry them, seal them in quart jars, and eat on them thru the year. Soak them in milk to bring them back and fry in butter.
I share mine with the two neighbors that like them . Would have given them half them to anyone if asked ask.Ye giving good money and work away. Oh well.
Going back out in the morning. I have one more good spot on public land to try this year. If you have a public hunting or fishing license it is a free for all. Just have to cut off at the ground and cover the "root" with surounding soil.
The spot hard to get to, usually no one hits ot but me. And I leave it right for regrowth.
Going to have to take my kid to help me get back there.
These I will be drying out in the stove, or cooking right away.
