Oh, are they the new up&coming leaders? It's hard to tell when you're immersed in the 
No I didn't, but I heard a little about them. Don't they fly in huge ... uh, flocks (is that right?). My friend said they come out of the caves in dozens & dozens. That would be incredible to watch.
I like bats.
Edit: maybe not caves... I don't remember where she said they come out of.
I just read an article that talks about building bat houses to keep the bad insect population down in your yard. It was pretty cool. No skeeters, maybe even wasps (she said hopefully), and you can use their poop in the garden! We have a little family of brown bats underneath our deck and I love listening to them come out at night.
That won't happen -- unless you go away for a couple of weeks and don't get someone to water for you.
Oh, you know I want to brag about it all I can once things start growing. If everything dies and I fail, however, I'll be deleting this whole thread.

You don't have to do it, Sally. I just know it would be cool to keep up with your garden and guessing that others might feel the same way about it.
Sally, your garden looks great! You'll have to post update pics so we can see the progress as your plants grow and start producing. :)
RA, guano. Ew.
We have bats that live under our cedar in the summer. Apparently their poop is highly sought after by gardeners. Maybe I'll bag the poop.
The Manure Chronicles

The chickens had a glut of droppings — manure — and I had a new vegetable garden that needed fertilizing. I was hoping we could come to terms.
Sal, I was thinking of doing the 'salsa garden' thing as well and I like cilantro in my salsa. What about the jalepenos, though? Do we not grow them here? Not being a green thumb, maybe I need to stick to peas.
It rained and rained last night, and it's still all misty and grey outside now. Things look ok, if not a bit peaked and wilty. Normally we have such warm sunshine!
Sarah, I once grew mint in my garden. Never again! Nor oregano. Took me years to finally clear out what turned out to be quite invasive and choking. I was so fed up it took me a few years to even want them again. Now they are in pots. Phew!Bun - guess what I found taking over my compost? Yep. My personal nemesis. Bindweed. Kill! Kill! Kill! It defies all notion of death.
Sally, have fun with your garden!
