Dang squirrels ate all that my small trees made.
On the sunny side of that is I love to watch them squirrels. Especially if PeteDog sees them and goes chasing.

My trees are pretty much isolated, surrounded by soybean and rye grass fields and not next to the woods. Crows have gotten some of them, but they made alot of pecans. I almost cut some branches they were saggin' so bad.

It's been a good rain year. Glad they came in good for you. It's just a world of difference when you don't have the droughts we have been having to put up in the last few years.
