Gardening With Raccoons

By Cynthia Sax on August 1, 2023

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I share our backyard with many critters – birds, butterflies, ants, bunnies, the Mafia Squirrels…and Rocky, the Raccoon plus other Raccoon families.

Gardening in a space shared with raccoons means gardening differently. Our cute Trash Pandas are menaces in the garden.

This year, alone, Rocky sat on our sole experimental potato plant, breaking off all but two of the stems. He knocked down one of the trellises for the green beans and then sat on two of those seedlings, smushing them flat. He dug up tomato plants while he was looking for grubs.

All these actions were preventable. I have now installed a tomato cage around the potato plant. And I placed sticks poking out of the ground around the green beans and tomatoes. Those makeshift fences serve as a deterrent. (I got that idea when doing research on battle defences for the cyborg romances.)

I also don’t install things like raised beds (aka sleeping quarters/homes for raccoon families – grins) or water features (aka handwashing and fighting locations for raccoons). The lids to composters and other key containers are complex to open (the lid has to be turned and lined up properly). And I’m careful about what I use in the garden/yard, knowing Rocky and other critters will likely be putting it in their mouths.

Raccoons are clever and tend to cause chaos (often out of boredom). But there are things we can do to decrease their less-desired activities. And we are fortunate to share our yard with them.

Strive For Forever


This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.

Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.

Soon, she’ll die.

Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.

Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.

While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.

The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.

There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.

And she is in danger.

Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.

Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.

***

Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features an inspired cyborg, a joke-cracking scientist, and an all-powerful deity with plans of his own.

Day Lilies And My Awesome Mom

By Cynthia Sax on July 29, 2023

My Awesome Mom gave me this wonderful day lily when the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I first moved into our home.

Every time I look at it, I think of her. (smiles)

This year, it has been blooming like wild. It has dozens of blooms.

But each bloom lasts for only a day due to the heat. Its beauty is fleeting and that makes it even more special.

The Bell Peppers Have Been Sacrificed

By Cynthia Sax on July 14, 2023

Most of the bell peppers have been nibbled to nothing by slugs and insects and other wildlife.

That is sad on one hand. The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I grew the bell peppers from seed, starting them in the basement grow station. The Awesome Mom-In-Law took care of them while we went on a 3 week vacation. They were pretty and had huge shiny green leaves and they looked strong.

And now, they’re dead.

But on the other hand, this means there were slugs and insects and other wildlife to eat them. (smiles) Part of our goal is to create a backyard that supports critters, that critters thrive in.

And we did that! Slugs are a valuable part of the ecosystem. They munch on dead plants and fallen branches and they improve the soil. They’re doing well in our backyard.

We’ll buy a box of bell peppers from a local farmer. (shrugs) That is an easy solution.

Gardening And Beans

By Cynthia Sax on July 7, 2023

I LOVE growing green beans.

I don’t like eating them. (Fortunately, the Dear Wonderful Hubby loves eating them.) But I love growing them.

Why?

Because they grow quickly. They wrap themselves around things. Their leaves are big and wonderfully green. They flower early and often.

They’re an exciting plant to grow. (grins) I highly recommend them.

Does Gardening Save Money?

By Cynthia Sax on July 1, 2023

People often assume we’re growing vegetables to save money.

(squishy face) It DOESN’T save us money. Not in the short run.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby is a master grocery shopper and he finds quite a few vegetable bargains. He also buys the huge boxes of tomatoes and bell peppers local farmers supply to grocery stores during the summer and fall. I process and freeze those vegetables. I do the same with the massive bags of onions he buys. We’re cool about eating canned and frozen produce, which helps lower our grocery bill also.

Today, we can source vegetations fairly inexpensively.

And there are vegetables this summer TO source. We aren’t seeing many shortages thus far. (Knock on wood that continues.)

Growing vegetables MIGHT save us money years from now if the prices increase. We’re honing our skills as gardeners. Those skills might be needed in the future.

And gardening gives me happiness. I like watching things grow!

Backyard To Table

By Cynthia Sax on June 21, 2023

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are eating more and more out of the backyard garden. We have green onion tops, radishes, spinach, lettuce, cilantro and other herbs.

We jokingly call it backyard to table, a twist on the farm to table marketing campaign.

And it is SO satisfying. We grew this food! (beams)

Gardening And Our Isla Nublar

By Cynthia Sax on June 13, 2023

Growing anything is high risk. An unexpected frost or hail storm can decimate fragile plants like tomatoes.

Every year, I grow more seedlings than we can fit in our vegetable garden. We send the excess to Awesome Mom-in-law and Awesome Father-in-law’s house (and also give them to others). They plant these tomato seedlings in their garden.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby jokes that is our Isla Nublar, our Site B or alternative location. (In Jurassic Park, the Site B island is actually Isla Sorna.) If something goes wrong, if the ‘dinosaurs’ can’t be contained at our house, we can take clippings or thin the tomato plants at his parents’ house.

Gardening With Squirrels

By Cynthia Sax on June 7, 2023

Our backyard truly belongs to the Mafia Squirrels. They run the show. They decide what lives or doesn’t live.

But we’ve figured out a few tricks to increase the odds our vegetables and other plants will survive.

If I’m planting seeds in a planter/container, I leave a gap between the soil and the top of a planter/container. Once the seeds are planted, I cover the top with wire netting/fencing, pinning it in place with sticks (so the squirrels can’t knock it off). The squirrels are unable to easily access the soil so they leave it alone.

I stick sticks or branches in the soil around bigger plants (like the tomatoes), creating a little fence. Again, this blocks access to the actual plant. And our squirrels DO dig up tomato plants.

(Tomato cages don’t stop the squirrels. The gaps are too large.)

I walk around the garden a couple times a day and replant dug up plants. Usually if I replant them right away, they will survive.

Hot pepper flakes or sauce WILL keep the squirrels away but only for a short time.

Caring For Our Soil

By Cynthia Sax on May 31, 2023

Everything comes from something else. The nutrients in our food, for example, come from the nutrients in our soil. This is why soil integrity is so fraggin’ important.

In the past, I did a sh*t job at caring for the soil around our home. I would put (excessive) weeds and prune the rose bushes and send all that to the city for composting. Which was a great thing to do. Except I never gathered that compost from the city. I didn’t sprinkle it on the ground, returning those nutrients to the soil.

Which meant my soil was depleted of all that good stuff.

I’m trying to restore the balance now. I am creating our own compost and I’m returning those nutrients back to the soil.

We live and we learn and we do better. (smiles)

Raw Desires

His human female is attempting to kill him.
This cyborg finds that adorable.


Raw, a K model cyborg, is one of the lucky warriors who has located his genetic match. He hears his human female’s voice over the communication lines and immediately processes she is his.


Winning her affections will be a greater challenge. Battle has always been Raw’s focus. The rough-and-tough warrior has no idea how to engage anyone’s tender emotions.

Fortunately, he isn’t alone in the universe. His unmatched male friends help him craft a plan.

All Raw has to do is relay a few unsettlingly sweet words to his female and give her the thoroughly unfunctional wall decoration he has obtained. He projects she will then jump into his big, strong arms and beg him to claim her.

Taytu isn’t jumping anywhere. She has one mission—kill every cyborg in existence.

The huge, handsome male traveling to meet with her is her first target. His rough hands, firm lips, and sparkling, energy-infused eyes won’t save him from her vengeance. She has trained vigorously for this moment, and she won’t fail at her assigned task.

The cyborg will die.

Watching The Garden Grow

By Cynthia Sax on May 23, 2023

All of the seedlings have been planted in the backyard vegetable bed. Yay! They are still very small but it does look like a legitimate garden now. (smiles)

I joke about sitting back and watching the garden grow.

There are still tasks to complete in the garden. I’m composting. I’m weeding. I’m replanting whatever the mafia squirrels dig up. I’m training the peas along the string trestle. And interesting tasks like that.

But the hard work IS over…until harvest begins.
