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... Bob |

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. |

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.

Bob 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. |
