You could try live trap, but wire doors open for a week or two and just feed them. They will get comfortable with it and then you can set it so it will go off. Then you can catch a bunch of them.


We are right in the middle of wheat harvest. A couple pictures.

First one is cart along side combine. It catches the wheat from combine and takes it to truck. The combine never stops. It unloads onto the cart on the go. Kinda like flying in formation really low to the ground.lol

Second picture is combine with windmill in background. Harvesting wheat and harvesting the wind at the same time.

If you look at the clipped wheat stubble. You might notice the green between the rows. That is clover we seeded into the growing wheat this spring. The wheat was planted last September

The clover is a cover crop. It fixes nitrogen, reduces soil erosion, puts organic matter into the soil and all the wildlife love it.

Plenty of Lambs Quarter here plus I harvested the seeds from some mature plants last year.  We like them better than Spinach now.  It is best to harvest them as young plants but the seeds are also edible.  If anyone needs calcium in their diet these are the plants to eat 

Eric Krewson:
I am overloaded, I planted a covid 19 sized garden just in case, this is almost a daily picking, I have canned about all I need and my Anasazi beans are just coming in. I try to give the stuff I don't use away but I am running gout of people who want it because everyone is giving stuff away and there is an abundance available.
