Venting about varmints
The Cook said:
I've got to find out what is eating the tomatoes and cantaloupes. I think I am going to put the cantaloupes and pumpkins in stockings and see if it slows the critters down. Hope whatever it is isn't tall enough to reach very high in the tomato cages. Do you see tooth marks on the melons and pumpkins? Big chisel marks usually means groundhogs Small chisel marks could be rats or squirrels Teeny, tiny chisel marks would be mice or voles Ragged, broken chunks could be deer Opossums will go after ripe melons and tomatoes (partly for fluid) and raccoons have a sweet tooth, and will go for ripe melons. DH finally was able to run the trimmer in the garden and I can now get to most everything now. Not that all of the weeds are gone, but at least I can see them. Weather is supposed to be cooler starting tomorrow. Guess I will get out and see what I can do. At least I am feeling better this summer than last. Now if it would just stay cool enough to get some yard & garden work done. It's cooled down to normal-hot. I pulled four heaping full 5-gallon buckets of weeds, plus the dying pea vines. So far the fence is holding and some of the soybeans are sending out new leaves. If only it would rain...serious rain...steady rain most of the day...*sigh* -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Yes, swooping is bad." email valid but not regularly monitored |
