Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

[CayugaJana]

I might have to stake the lettuce off or something. The vegetable garden is 100ftX100ft. Little turds.....

Make the lettuce inaccessible, and they will start on the beans. Make the beans inaccessible, and they will start on the peas... How bout electrifying your garden? 3 strands would do it.

Sounds yummy. I've not eaten rabbit in a very long time. The last time I did, I almost chipped a tooth. Not b/c it was tough, but b/c hubby kept shooting it until he was truly convinced that it was most sincerely dead.

Some of my lettuce sprouted in my 25 gallon grow bag from the rain last night. I had to cover it before the critters got to it.

The birds and squirrels are eating all my strawberries. I guess I will have to make a frame for the bird netting to cover them.

Still looking for the single or family of ground hogs to make an appearance

Are you MAD at them because their predictions were SOOOOOOOOOOO WRONG??? This years winter reached way further in the calendar.

The way I see it, it's either a month and a half, or 6 weeks. No. I'm not mad at groundhogs. It's really not personal! Just want them dead if they enter my property. Should I put up a no trespassing sign?

I have rabbits eating my lettuce. Anyone know what I can do to keep them out?

Fence. Or dog. Or both.

Eat the rabbits. They would go great with a salad.

My garden is fenced. Any critter that breaches the fence gets a lead pill. If it's a critter intent on breaching the fence, he gets the same. Still looking for the single or family of ground hogs to make an appearance.

I put hotwires on my veggie garden fence. I am making another garden area so i bought fencing for that as well, and the berry patch is fenced. And we have 2 dogs.
But i will still need to put netting up to save the berries.

I have a terrible time resisting running them over when i see them on the side of the road (woodchucks), with my luck i probably would run into the ditch.
