Woodchucks favorite food
Comments (36)Excitement is .. I CAUGHT MY WOODCHUCK! In spite of everything I read - it was relatively easy. I've been battling deer for a couple years now and wondered why, all of a sudden, flowers they never touched before were disappearing until ole Chucky showed himself one afternoon. Smoke bombed the hole to no avail. He moved near my veggies. Ate the leaves on my broccoli and most of my cabbage. I pulled up the remaining cabbage, put the cabbage filled trap in the "cabbage patch" to no avail. Next night I added peanut butter to the cabbage and caught a coon. That night Chucky started on the broccli heads. Next night I set the trap right in the passage where he comes out of the woods next to my garden. It was a narrow path between potatos that he would walk over to the broccoli. I put broccoli in the trap. Next day broccoli was gone but no Chucky. He (or something) managed to retrieve it without closing the trap. I put broccoli under the trip plate (as per directions that came with the Havahart) but I'm assuming that prevented it from going down to release the doors shut. THEN I set the trap in the afternoon making sure the broccoli was on top of the trip plate. Wham! Within a couple of hours (woodchucks come out to feed in the afternoon) he lay trapped. Was I lucky? YES! And in answer to the subject line of these postings.. Woodchuck's favorite food - BROCCOLI :-)...See MoreOne of my favorite ethnic foods, what's yours?
Comments (41)Well, cynic, that marks you as a Minnesotan! My favorites are Indian, Greek, Middle East, or Thai. Anything but the native meat-and-potatoes German/Midwestern cusine I grew up with! Luckily we now have some good ethnic restaurants in the Twin Cities. My least favorite is Korean--just can't get into the spices they use (and despise kim chee). This has been somewhat problematic for me since a good friend of mine is Korean and invites us for many dinner parties. . ....See MoreFavorite ways to save small food leftovers.
Comments (17)As I live alone (and am not a heavy eater) I have had trouble avoiding having food go bad in the frig. Something over 6 months ago my old step-uncle died. People dealing with his affairs were worried that if the house were left vacant, it would be broken into, and I said that I could help, by going out there. I've been making the 25 mile round trip almost every day since. I'm feeling guilty, embarrassed, etc. about it, too. After his wife died, over two years ago, I stayed with him for a couple of months, as he, in his mid 80's, having had three hip replacements, with really painful back, hip and leg, went to the barn daily to care for his cattle and some of us were worried that, if he fell in a snowbank, no one would know for a while. I stayed with him till the cattle went to pasture. Since then, I've visited him occasionally, but felt that I should go oftener. Now that he's gone - I'm going to his place every day. Which means that I have milk in two fridges. And bread. And juice. And potatoes. And meat. And veggies. Etc., etc. So, not only do I often forget to take stuff back and forth that I need - but quite a bit more than formerly goes bad! Something of a pain in the butt ... for anyone, let alone a frugal old fart like me! 'Tain't all bad, though - he had two dogs and the major one, that he gave a part of everything that he ate to and was so fat that she could hardly waddle, was found a home for right after his death. But ... the outside dog, and about ten cats, are still around. They are glad to get most of the stuff that's too far gone to suit me. And it doesn't seem to cause them any harm. Something over 60 years ago my Dad had a young cattle beast die, towed it out of the barn into the yard, and there it lay. For about a year. Our dog would visit the carcass for a snack quite frequently - and the down side for him was that he smelled so bad that he got a lot less petting than usual! A number of neighbours' dogs used to like to visit for a snack, as well. Some even rolled in it. I remember when our family took our dachshund to the beach nearly 40 years ago - she'd lie down in the smelly dead fish and roll in them. Smelled bad for days after - despite getting (at least one) thorough bath. My ex- was disgusted. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Dogs will be dogs!". So they will. Hope you're enjoying good health, friends, prosperity ... and happiness. ole joyful...See MoreWhat's your favorite container rose?
Comments (5)I'm in zone 7 high altitude dryish mountain west, so I can grow most roses I believe. Wow I love Ballerina in a container and it's a rose I was actually thinking about trying in a container because I have a spot where I want to plant it in ground in the future but I'm not ready to relandscape that area yet. I was thinking of trying it in a container then either move it down the road or just grow cuttings from it if it's liking container life....See MoreK S 7b Little Rock (formerly of Seattle)
