Rusty snout beetle and slugs. Wild Deer will also munch rhubarb down to a stump. And this little fellow which I hadn't heard of until today ....Rhubarb curculio.

When we were kids we would eat the rhubarb stalks.

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
The Boss is blaming my squirrels for the rhubarb assault. I think it's skunks or raccoons. Neither of us have evidence for our arguments save for presence at the crime scene.

Speaking of squirrels, VH put a bird feeder in the yard where the squirrels like to congregate (they evidently can't access the seeds. I have no idea how or why, I honestly don't give a shit). This has, however, brought a whole new form of entertainment when releasing Scout into the yard.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Jul 2018, 9:44pmThe Boss is blaming my squirrels for the rhubarb assault.

Deer have eaten all of our hostas, but I feel like we are encroaching on their land, so have at it.

Personally, I wish the deer would eat a few of them!!

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
I can get a bit irritated with what the various wildlife do to our yard—we've actually had peanut growths in our lawn from where the Petes and Lanas bury excess peanuts—but I share your view. They have a short and challenging life; I ain't for making it worse.

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
We went and picked a ton of blackcaps (or black raspberries depending on where you're from) last weekend and they were AWESOME! They grow wild all over one of our county parks. Interesting when I think about all of the wild berries that grow in my neighborhood that most people just pass by. There is a mulberry tree at my kid's school - very yummy. I also have gooseberries in my yard and I've tried to make gooseberry wine several times - but it has not turned out.revbob wrote: ↑14 Jul 2018, 5:10pmAs a kid we had LOTS of wild raspberries and we would just devour them.

Grilled sirloin with brown rice and sauteed mushrooms. Simple but great.
