How to keep squirrels from digging up the bulbs?
Comments (44)Tried it, both liquid and the granule stuff. The squirrels/ rabbits were like, "Thank you for the seasoning" and went ahead and ate the stuff anyway. Or they waited for the next rainstorm or after I watered. Whatever the case it didn't work, even after a day of use. I also used cinnamon, both powdered and oil form. That helped with some success. At least until either it rained or the stuff wore off. But being too expensive to apply on a regular basis, didn't help. (But I'll add specifically for this topic, the powdered form of cinnamon did not do anything for bulb planting.) But so far the trick I did mixing like thai hot pepper garlic + Habanero seeds + neem oil and rubbing on/ soaking on approx.. 41 daffodil bulbs seems to be helping. I left one half rotted bulb out with said treatment just to allow them to try one. That one was tried and shredded, but very few others have been dug up since then. But it remains to be seen if it will work in the long run....See MoreThankful for dogs that dig holes in rose beds
Comments (12)The hold digging happened while I was in Colorado; the dog is quickly learning that she cannot go into the flower beds but without her digging a bomb crater and piling the dirt around the rose, I know the rose would be gone like so many others. As I cleaned beds yesterday, along a fence that before I left had been covered with mature climbers which are now missing, I kept finding burned spots with rose canes turned to charcoal. The former resident, my ex, obviously deliberately pilled and burned under many, many roses. And this too shall pass....See MoreTree ID. Found some type of swallowtail cat!!
Comments (18)If this is the first caterpillar you've raised, you may not know about molting. Cats eat until their skin can't hold any more, then they molt into a new, bigger skin. During this time, they're completely still and don't eat. So don't try to force the cat to eat - it may be molting. That said, if the cat prefers peach, give it peach. Also, caterpillars, especially young ones, much prefer young, tender leaves to old, tough ones. Since your cat is so young, give it tender leaves. I don't know how you're keeping them fresh, but I put mine in left overs containers, and punch holes in the tops where I insert the short branches. If you cut down too close to the new growth, the leaves will droop, so you need to cut further down on the branch, and then insert that in the hole of the plastic container top. I also wash the leaves with the sprayer on my kitchen sink - you need to be sure you don't put in any spiders or other predators, and the sprayer will knock them off, also any other nastiness on the leaf.

Comments (37)Our house is almost 100 years old, and at one time was the hub of a large farm. Haven't found too much interesting stuff: mostly junk and trash from the people I bought the house from. Last fall, while clearing burdock from behind the garage, I discovered that the sellers left me an unexpected surprise: a landfill. I don't know how long they used it for, but it is recent (there are plastic garbage bags, metal cans, plastic bottles, etc...), large, exposed (covered only by weeds and grass) and only 100' from our back door. It's also going to cost $5,000 or more to get it removed and cleaned up. In this town we have a great transfer station at the town hall where you can dump almost anything, as well as having access to sand, dirt, gravel, shreaded wood(mulch). All for free to town residents. Yet these lazy slobs chose to dump household garbage in their own back yard, and invited rats to over-run the garage and move into the house. Amazing how ignorant people can be....See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
