It is definately not watermelon .
Sweet! I will be expecting some pumpkins then!
Those troublemakers got into my strawberries and nibbled down all of the leaves to stubs! Grrrrrr....[/QUOTE]
Why is it they devour what you want them to leave alone and they ignore what you hope they will devour?
Apparently, people just drive up during the night, on a couple different occasions, and have dug up their freshly planted hostas and daylilies. (Their house is set far back from the road and they can not see the end of their drive from their house.) But, now I'm totally paranoid that someone is going to steal several hundred dollars worth of plants that I just spent all day putting in. Have any of you ever had a problem with people stealing any plants that were near the road?[/QUOTE]
Wow! I can't believe the audacity of people! Well, maybe I can. We had a metal and wood bench stolen that was done at the end of the driveway. We had put it there so our daughter would have someplace to sit while she waited for the bus.
Finally quit once people started digging them up . Taking seeds or a small start I was ok with . Asking was a plus . Taking entire plants was the last straw .[/QUOTE]
That looks like a really big allotment!
The poison ivy and Virginia creeper have kept me itching.[/QUOTE]
I didn't know that you could get an itchy rash from Virginia creeper. I wonder if that is what the rash is from on my arms.
They chewed some of my chickens feet while they were sleeping, I caught them in the act .
We are at war with the giant rodents. The rain chased them to our dry spots I assume.
Wow! That is awful!! I can't even imagine having them that badly. I think I would be getting some barn cats!! and setting up bucket traps. Good luck with your battle against the varmints.
The last few days I have been watering the garden, picking cherry tomatoes, zucchini & cucumbers. A couple of big tomatoes are just starting to turn color!! I have been trying to tape up the tomato branches, they have out grown the supports! Also pulling out more kale to feed the chickens.[/QUOTE]
I caught a couple stealing bulbs my neighbor planted at the end of our road. Everyone on the road waters them and it's a cool color spot for everyone to see. Apparently the couple really needed them. She dropped the handful when I pulled up to ask her just what she thought she was doing.
Well that didn't quite quote right.
