We do have a prairie rattlesnake that the literature says is often confused with the prairie king snake and/or the great plains rat snake. I know there are both rattlers and rat snakes around, but can't tell which this is.jewlzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388035539612539051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489855241175520135.post-29454720546464535352017-11-17T17:23:59.527-08:002017-11-17T17:23:59.527-08:00Do you have pygmy rattlers (Ground rattler) in Ka...Do you have pygmy rattlers (Ground rattler) in Kansas?

I remember laboring for the longest time over where to put the garden and suddenly we knew just the right spot. I also like your color designations; keeps it from seeming so overwhelming. The work in the beginning looks huge and never-ending. But at least you've got a road map now. I love that you've got a rectangle to work with. Our triangle has been a challenge!<br /><br />I'm bookmarking this because yes, I'd love to use it (if your still willing) in my master plan how-to when I finally get to writing it (I'm slow, LOL)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489855241175520135.post-16496836295781681422016-05-19T12:25:05.295-07:002016-05-19T12:25:05.295-07:00Hi Dawn- Thanks for stopping by!
