Unexpected part of gardening, a snapping turtle lays eggs in your slightly sloped West facing garden which is apparently ideal for baking eggs for a couple of months. Don't know if it's the same turtle but this same thing happened two years ago, although she's ten days early this time. If all goes according to plan I should have quite the show of baby turtles sometime in late August. Originally by u/Dear_Bumblebee_1986 on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/22hpg45a
