Dear Brittany,
As requested, attached are a few current photos of our planting area, including a drip
line, as agreed upon back in April 2025. Grow time is possibly a little behind schedule
due to rabbits feeding on select plantings (see photo). We purchased plant coverings
to protect the plants affected, but the rabbits chewed through the coverings. So we
repaired them and are now seeing visible signs that the plantings are recovering. We
also purchased eagle decoys to scare off the rabbits. So far they are doing their job
and deterring the determined rabbits.
We have invested significant amounts of time, effort and money into this project. The
weeding alone (mostly grass) has required hours of diligence and is ongoing.
We will provide future reports and photos over the next 2 years as requested.
Respectfully,
David & Karen Swan
