Off to quite a late start.
Had to build a garden and spent this weekend shoveling 4 yards of dirt into new 12'x12' garden and to level off part of our yard.
Shoulders and back ridiculously sore.
Hoping to plant later this week.
In a bid to protect the garden I decided to buy a raccoon trap yesterday as there's been at least one who's been feasting in our backyard composters.
Baited with two carrots and some cat kibble, first night set caught what seemed to be a teenage raccoon. A quick drive into the country and hopefully he'll enjoy his new idyllic home near the Jock.
Yoni: 1, Raccoons: 0 (will keep score throughout the season)
Nice job! Good luck controlling the critters.
ReplyDeleteWe've already lost two of our seedlings (parsley and lime basil) to some sort of animal with the munchies. We're in Barrhaven, so the likely culprit is a local bunny. I'm hoping to get the situation under control before our Beckta seeds come up, because it's awfully sad to see a nice happy plantling completely stripped of its leaves. We've got cayenne and chicken wire out there now, but I'm wary.
