Does he check the horse too?

The chickens would probably love getting up on the woodpile, if they can, but they will poop on it too.

Three years ago, I got a string of red, silver, and green jingle bells for the chickens as a Christmas present. Sparkly! Jingly! :clap They ran away, terrified. After a few days, their terror slacked off to mere indifference.

Oh, my. We have LOTS of squirrels this year too! All the colors: red, grey, and black. Black squirrels used to be very rare out here, but plentiful closer to Lake Michigan. Maybe they can't afford the rent closer to the lake anymore?:idunno

Yeah, mulberries are pretty bland! The wile birds like them, and I'm happy to leave them for the birds. Who then poop purple on everything. :rolleyes: That is one of the loveliest sounds I know.

I share your feeling. I'll go check my trap in a couple hours.

I read that male urine is a better deterrent to critters. Oh, hubby, next time you need to go pee, could you make a circuit of the garden?

Look for space up high. The stuff you rarely use can go where you need a step stool to get it. Under things, as @WthrLady said, are good places too. We made a pantry under the stairs down to the basement. Several years ago, hubby built a bookshelf/wall to enclose the stairs to the second...

Here's an interesting bit about cuss words. The @#$%^& I typed above, as a stand in for cuss words? It has a name. Grawlix is a term for the use of an unpronounceable string of punctuation in place of a curse word or other taboo term. It can also be called “obscenicon” (a portmanteau of...

She said it might be a milk snake instead; they're related. Either way, thank you, snake, for slithering the other direction. You weren't bothering me, so I didn't want to bother you. Whatever is eating the plants in my garden, however... You are bothering the @#$%^& out of me!

I sprinkled that around the chard. And the dill, peas, and beans. Maybe I'm not using enough. I am seriously considering collecting urine (mine) to use around the garden. Has anyone done that?

I think Widget is "partially broody." She's been in the nest the last two nights at lock up. I take her out and put her on the roost. I see her out and about a bit in the morning, but come mid afternoon, when I do chickie snack, she's back in the nest. I tossed her out and closed off that nest...

I wondered what that was... :lau

Good luck! I just set a trap in my garden to catch whatever is mowing down some of my plants! I think I see damage from two different animals. A deer could be reaching over the fence and lopping off the sunflowers. It's not getting inside the fence, because I don't see hoof prints. I don't...

I need to get the anti-bird stuff in place... I let the birds have the rest of the (few) strawberries!

Yeah, I hope they laid into them. That "couldn't be bothered" bit is the part that is so unacceptable!

I'd love to feed them a lead pill.

I have something eating my: bush bean plants and chard. Those are short plants. Something has also eaten the the dill (8-10" tall), sunflowers (12-14"), and climbing peas (18-24"). Those things have the tops chomped off. Conceivably, a deer could reach over the fence on the peas and sunflowers...

Nope, don't have a favorite show to binge. I'm too busy with the garden this time of year to want to watch TV.

This made me shriek when I saw it in the green house. Just the surprise of it. I don't mind snakes. Too much. A friend identified this as a corn snake.
