A few weeks ago I posted about two bear cubs that passed through the yard but over the last few weeks we have had a big MAMA bear stop by twice. She knocked over our compost barrel which is mostly full of weeds with some coffee grounds. Thankfully both times she walked away and didn't find anything appetizing!
Here are the two videos, this girl is huuuuge, just look at her paws :

The garden feels like it has been coming along very slowly this year but things are finally starting to pick up. We had a very weird May with some nice warm days but lots of cold and overcast so a lot of our plants seem to be growing slowly. I am finally getting pea flowers so that's promising!
I am calling this our miracle tree, it's a big stick we found in the woods and stuck in the garden last year to help stake up a plant and it has started growing leaves LOL:
The bad news is the ticks have been a big problem this year, we have started putting them in a jar to torture them (not really but I would like to 😂) I'm not sure why they are so bad this year but I really hate these little shits:
As always the wasps keep trying to make nests all over, last year they made one in our internet box by the front door, this year they are trying various areas around our patio:
The Poets Narcissus bloomed but it's so brief they are already dying back:
We continue to have massive amounts of chives, oregano and parsley. We are stuffing herbs into every meal we can:
Hopefully in a month I will have better garden progress, currently the tomatoes, squash, cucumber, beans etc are just starting to grow, wish me luck :)
