A possum eating my chillis ?
Hi All,
In my backyard I have two passionfruit vines growing on the back fence
and have noticed for a while now a clump of partially eaten passionfruit
at the base of one of them (Panama variety). I assumed there was
something getting in the yard and eating them. BUT today when I had
another look there where quite a few half eaten chillis (cayenne type)
in the same pile which had not been there previously.
I assumed a possum to start with but understand that possums don't
generally like chillis and that chilli based liquids are used to spray
on plants to stop the possums eating them.
I haven't seen the tell tale signs of possum droppings or any droppings
for that manner. Oh and the chilli plants they are pinching them from
are about 6 metres away from the pile that is being formed.
Anyone have any suggestions ?
I haven't seen any possums here in the past. I 've been living here 2 years.
Thanks in advance
