For the last month, i've been busy chasing a racoon out of our beds. He'd come every three or four nights, dig up all the impatiens and rummage through the vegetable garden. He has kept me endlessly busy replanting the flowers he digs up nightly. I came up with a minor deterrant (one of several attempts!)
-installing a string fence and implanting golf tees upside down to distrub his footing. He's only been back once since these measures were introuduced. But gosh darn it-i'm way past fed up! He will be sorry the next time one of us catch him in our yard-no more Mrs. Nice Guy! I'm thinking since the Concord Grape vine has stopped fruiting, he may be holed up somewhere in the neighborhood). I'm praying he stays away and lets me get back to the project at hand. The don't call them VARMINTS for 'nothin!
