Your own Lochness monster!
Starlings.
Squirrels will "chatter" at you – if they're unhappy about your presence. That may have been the "chirp" you heard in the roof. Also, I am an experienced gardener – but I LOVE a good video on basic tomato pruning. I'll be here for it everytime. Thank you!
I wonder if its a nutria in the pond. We have them in Arkansas too. Its similar to other rodents mntioned.
Muskrat?
Them birds are gonna doo-doo in your sweet tea! Watch out!
Woodchuck?!
Alligator!!!!! Your hubby prolly has a recipe for him!
Here in Maine we can’t even plant our warm crops out just yet! In the next week hoping.. but, I have just been huffing my tomato seedling! 😂🤷🏼♀️ they smell so good! Can’t wait for tomato fingers! 🥰💚
I think it’s a muskrat in your pond. They used to invade our farm pond and dig holes around the edges. They are very destructive. We had to trap them and relocate them to a state wilderness area near a river.
How do you make your iced tea? I want to make alot of different drinks this year. If you have any other recipes you can think of would be awesome! ❤
I absolutely beautiful, beautiful gardens wow that is a lot. A lot of work keeping them up.❤
Probably a nutria. Smaller than beaver with a rat like tail not flat
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

South Carolina loch nessy??? 😅
Nutrias in the pond. They can be very destructive.

We LOVEEEEE all the extra videos!!! Thank you!!!
Do you morel mushrooms in your area? ❤
Please tell me we are going to get to see your mom in the garden!
Please Jess… good evening 😅… umm what stops a tomato fruit from growing??? Like I know the flower was pollinated but the fruit refuses to grow…. And I am having this issue on a great deal of my fruits sets
We had an otter get in our pond and it killed all the fish in 2 days. I was heart broken. I told a man that owns a fish hatchery and he said an otter will travel up to a mile to invade ponds. He also said people tell him otter invasion stories no less than once a week
looks like a nutria rat to me.
From your video I concur with others, it's a muskrat.
Muskrat
Minks, muskrats…
A muskrat or a nutria which is invasive! Confirm and eradicate the nutria!

That sounds like starlings to me. They're talking to each other.
Okay, see, our season is much shorter, so I HAVE to keep suckers on my tomatoes if I want any kind of harvest. Instead, I cut the first foot or so of leaves off to keep disease at bay, and thin out leaves as needed for air flow. We also trellis on these homemade ladders that we tie to supports in layers, horizontal rather than vertical, and just add on layers as the plants grow taller and spread out. Our climate is mountain desert.
We do get late-season blight occasionally, but not nearly as much as before we started trellising.
You know what else gets tomato tar off your fingers? Keith's Hand Soap, which has pulverized pumice in it (but also lotion, so your hands don't crack or burn).
Could be a nutria, if you have those in South Carolina (I’ve seen them in Europe, so it seems possible).
We have Nutrias here in the PNW! Body like a beaver, tail like a rat, size of a cat. They swim like that in the water!
Like some others, I would guess your mystery creature is a muskrat. They're smaller than beavers and can swim underwater.
We have River Otters in ponds in Southern Middle Tennessee.
Nutria?
Not sure what that was but it’s not swimming as smooth as the otters that I grew up watching. We’re in NC and we had 3 that would regularly come visit really early in the morning to play.
muskrat?
Cool your very own loch ness monster!!!
I am really thrilled with the daily videos!!!
Passed a dead otter on the side of the road the other day in north AL! Had no idea we had them here! I think yours could be a muskrat though
Pretty sure that’s a muskrat!
I AGREE IT IS A MUSKRAT
Thats a muskrat.
