What do you grow for your pets/critters?
Comments (13)singingcrk Angel. well frist one of my horses is Breeze he is in the picture above. He is also blind as a bat at the ripe age of 29. Thus the saying even a blind squirel can find a nut. Breeze shares his pasture with my garden or the other way around. I would only turn himout with a eye on him at all times, but would be out of eye sightwhen was turning the compost pile. That is normallywhen he would hit the goodies. Peas, spinach or what flavorful shallots I had growing. Did I tell you he ate my new gooseberry and current bushes to the ground. Now two things I posted a while ago was on posionous plants site, not a sole picked up on it. you just put in the search either dog or cat or horse or even human and it will pop up what ever is posionous to that animal. Now for horses a great place to even get a idea what they can eat is herbnhorse.com they sell bulk herbs by the lb that are dried, long long list btw. Many flower petals included. I have had horses for over 30 years and not a clue till ws and 2005 they liked tomatoes. I adore tomatoes and sort of went nutty planting way to many seeds. I traded or begged from any one that would trade with me for different tomato seeds. I did alot of research to find good yellow ones and traded for as many as I could. I knew it would work but had not a clue how well. I strongly belive horses loves carrot tops, have yet to see one carrot plant out of all the seeds I planted. See picture of spotted horse aboved, main weeder of carrots, peas and spinach from my property. My property is small and the blind horse has free reign over it. One of my horses will guard anything near his paddock, or eat it and loves to take walks with me to taste test the other tomatoes and found out he liks cosmos flowers /plant and only one type of cukes. I saved the seeds from the cukes he liked and will plant many more of those for him. I do plant alot of grass seeds for these horses and they get bales of hay each day to go with. Have not figured out to to give them some herbs but not whole pots of them yet. I may need to cage in part of my garden to keep one horse and the deer herd out. One day planted out the rest of my containers of ws'ed plants not yet out. Found one horse grazing among them as new treats just planted for him. OUT out of my garden. He hates to get wet so just sounded it by a sprinker hose. Evil grin. that worked to keep him out of my garden most of the summer. How to out fox a blind horse course 101.

Comments (7)Thanks All for the info! I think you are correct, Flora UK, it is a Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Mariesii' After reading the link you included (thanks!) it was clear that that is my tree, or actually, now I realize, Shrub! I don't have any close up pics, and it's not in bloom yet, so they probably wouldn't reveal much. After all the info though, I am almost positive it's what Flora mentioned. Ken, you made me giggle. No, I wouldn't *really* give it a hair cut! I will prune it back. I haven't done a thing to it since we got here, so its probably time. And yes, it is much too close to the house! But I love it and there is no way I could part with it. And now I'm off to learn how to properly prune a Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Mariesii' :)) Tulip Smiles....See MoreLittle round holes in veg garden - Critter Questions
Comments (5)I forgot to say that the pic in the link is a meadow vole. chickenmom, I can't tell that he did any damage. The area that he took shelter has some woody shrubs and coreopsis with ice plant as a ground cover. I think he was trying to get out of the rain. I've been working around that area today and didn't see anything. Also, the dog was there and she can sniff out any intruder. So, maybe he moved on. I sure hope so! I don't think it's possible to have the underground variety of moles and voles here. We're on the side of a hill and it's almost solid rock. I suppose they have actual soil in the valleys...

Comments (11)Hi there, I just wanted to respond to this post since I emailed someone that didn't necessarily have their email address on gardenweb. Sometimes when I search for certain things, like "white cabinets," a ton of posts with pictures of kitchens that do not necessarily appear in finished kitchens blog show up. Many times these are pictures off of photobucket. In one particular instance, I went back to find those photobucket pictures to show my husband, and I simply searched in google "GW's screen name kitchen" His or her email came up on google, and I emailed them asking if they minded sharing where they got their cabinets since they are local to Chicago, where I live. I would not be offended if someone emailed me asking me that, and so I didn't think anyone else would be offended either. Anyway, I just wanted to share how it is I came upon getting someone's email...actually quite unintendedly. hth, Pebbles81...See Morevgkg Z-7 Va
