The ramps disappeared and I hope they come back next year in greater numbers. I have a stand of Jerusalem artichokes that ABSOLUTELY EXPLODED so I'm glad the other two spots didn't survive.

Only one of my elderberry bushes has flowers????

The deer devastated my Chokecherry tree and spice bush so ...I don't know...I'm just not going to think about that right now. I'm sad. I did replace some invasive conifers with chokeberry bushes which....if you want to get rid of burning bushes that's a solid native replacement.

My peas are growing....but...otherwise doing nothing...

The pawpaw trees were chocka block with flowers some i'm hoping that means a good harvest come August.

Not gonna lie guys my garden is just...being weird this year and it's been a weird year for me so I'm just playing it by ear.

Doe: FlemishxLionhead -- Buck: New Zealand -- Kindle: 10kits, 8wks -- Location: SW Ohio, USA

For about 2-3 weeks, we've had Mom and kits in a tractor in our yard. They seemed to have been thriving on just grass and water. Very energetic. We played with them frequently. I have another tractor with 3mo kits, also thriving about 20ft away.

In the past 3 days, we've lost 8 suddenly. Day 1: we found 4 kits dead, 1 dying (listless, unable to to move except sudden jerking. Day 2: 1 dead, another dying (same symptoms) Day 3: One dying (same symptoms, survived for most of the day)

By Day 2, we pulled Doe and kits back into our inside cages but we still lost some. The remaining 2 seem fine as does mom.

I don't use any chemicals in our yard. The other tractor of kits seems perfectly fine and thriving. I did a necropsy to check the liver for signs of Coccidiosis but they livers had no blemishes at all. They're bladders were full, they're stomachs were full, didn't see any constipation.

I'm at a total loss what to do.

What do you recommend?
