Varmints!

Squirrels recently destroyed my garden gnome. Chewed his legs off. Little bastuds! I'll never forgive them for that. :x

They regularly harvest all the apples from my tree well before they get ripe! I hate them.

When I die, that's what someone's going to find in my home... Only they'll be vintage capacitors... :shock:

My wife constantly (constantly) complains about the hassle of what to do with all my stuff once I'm dead. And every time she does that (constantly) it makes me think of the Stephen Bishop song I’m So Miserable Without You, It’s Almost Like Having You Here. Weird, eh?

The squirrels get most of my chestnuts and raspberrys before I get them. Rodents!
I found out today the deer have been eating my green tomatoes, now I have 8 plants and a total of about 4 green ones left. :cry:.
Gonna have to put a fence up and think about getting an archery license for September. :twisted:

Oh squirrels.. nothing a suppressed .22 won't handle. I must invite my buddy over for coffee sometime soon. I still have that one around that thinks my car is a pooh target.

I am going to pile them up and play the part of Kurtz.

Once the deer find your tomatoes they will return until you have nothing but stumps. I built a fence around my garden from PVC and green plastic mesh to keep the deer out. I used zip ties. Made 4 walls, zip tied the long and short together so it is in 2 pieces. I used heavy ribbon fabric to tie the opposite corners together. I have gates at opposite corners. It was under $50 for all the materials for roughly a 12' x 10' box that is 6' high. It seems to work. I think through the green, the deer can't see the tomatoes, cukes, or green beans, so they don't jump inside. Obviously, 6' is something a motivated deer will jump. This is the 3rd season I've had the fence.

I'm keeping my tomatoes. I'm already eating them. Green beans, too. Cukes are slow to mature and starting to grow on the fence...we'll see if they survive. I'll try to remember to post a picture tomorrow.

BTW, I actually live inside city limits and have this problem!

I have heard a deer won't jump a fence if it can't see what's on the other side. If your green fence is opaque, that's probably why you aren't having an issue.

The rabbits are eating my wife's plants and the red squirrels are having a contest with the gray squirrels on who's going to piss us off the most this year.

On top of that my nut tree is going to produce like crazy this year. Why did the previous home owners plant a nut tree?
