Damn rabbits!
 
I just got out to the garden today for the first time this year, and
there were rabbit turds everywhere -- and both my bush cherries were
eaten all the way to the ground. A few bottom limbs on the apple tree
were stripped of all bark.

I don't care about the apple tree because those limbs were too low and I
was gonna prune them off anyway. But the cherries really ****es me off.
I assume they will come back up but there will be no cherries this
year (the plants are 2 years old) But who knows, they might be dead. I
gotta remember to put a hardware cloth cage around them next fall.
Maybe I should do it tomorrow...

They're being eaten *now*, if you wait, even a day or two, you may as
well kiss your plants bye bye. You don't need hardware cloth, a cage
of ordinary chcken wire will work fine.

I'm not here to promote my business.


That's your second untruth.

I'm wanting to get any and all feedback, positive or negative,
on a website I designed recently to go with it. I advertise locally
and direct folks to my site for more information.

Here is the link:http://allyoudoisfeedthefish.net/index.html

What do you think of the basic design?
Can you read it easily?
Ads or no ads?

I'm thinking people here are close to my target audience, being that
garden lovers usually like ponds even if they don't personally have
one.

Thank You,
Christian


Your parents must have had high hopes for you to succeed in the
arts... you're not going to do well in business unless you change your
name.

Burn Doo, burn.

And a .22 rim fire, you can have "organic" rabbit for supper.

The thing that worked for me is a roll of chicken
wire cut into lengths that could be rolled to
form a cylinder of the diameter you desire and
simply bend the ends together. It is relative
cheap and can be reused when and where needed.
The last couple years a fox has moved into the
area - no more rabbits around anymore - he (or
she) is a rather plump fox.
