 WithBerries. Farmers are trying to set out traps to save their crops. ...don't know about you all but my garden has been struggling and it is just sad so the last thing I need is another thing trying to get my garden lol

Just wanted to give those of you a heads up and wish you  :thgoodluck-vi:with your gardens!

Though my blueberry crop is awesome this year but my veggies are sure struggling but I did plant a garden for a friend way early and theirs is fine.

So who knows lol

We are all under the same stars, therefore we are never far apart.

Aren't they a NorthWest thing? I had never heard of them before living in Oregon.
