hello everyone, I planted these mum's in the garden to add a little colour for the fall but something is eating the flower heads off? I don't know what it could be. I looked it up and it said earwigs but do they do that kind of damage? I thought it could be either rabbits or voles ...maybe birds...
I will plant the wild flowers.
I may pull some more of the knotweed up though. Because on top of that plant we also have red fire ants. Which I believe may have been eating it? I know fire ants like to eat the tubers of some plants.
I was going to plant a seed packet of wildflower mixture of native plants that i bought from a local garden centre. I don't know how effective it will be...but it doesn't hurt to try.
I don't think i would try to eat the plant either...considering i never really eat rhubarb except in pies. haha..
At first I didn't really think of it as much because what was there before was bush. We had a huge willow that came down on it own and the conservation authority people came out and cut it up for us. Then I noticed this plant emerging...so that was what a couple of weeks ago. I didn't try to...
that's really impressive coop! I love it. :) I wish I had it haha
That is a good idea for covering the run with the Polycarbonate Clear Roofing. We used plastic that has to be re applied every year in the late fall. I may use your idea for the polycarbonate clear roofing material.
I thought it was an Ospray (but the marking on the face don't match nor does the colour) at first but I believe it is a Juvenile Red Tail Hawk. The first photo could be the same as the others too...its hard to distinguish what kind when they are that high in the air. But the photos you took that...
