I saw one skulking across it this morning, so I let Jenny out the back door & the two of us gave him hell. He lit out for the garage roof. It was highly gratifying. I'm watching my tomatoes (also near the fence)like a hawk.Bella Standerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331219222738989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14773652.post-63559993404453990592007-08-08T18:52:00.000-04:002007-08-08T18:52:00.000-04:00Yanno (tm -- miss you, Miss Snark), your predators...Yanno (tm -- miss you, Miss Snark), your predators might have had two feet, not four.<BR/><BR/>Now, I am no apologist for squirrels. Nothing that cute should be trusted.<BR/><BR/>But my dad, some years ago, had a peach tree that did really well one year. The weather was perfect, it seemed, and the fruit swelled and grew thick on the tree. He monitored it day by day, and one morning he finally mentioned that tomorrow was harvest time!<BR/><BR/>You guessed it. In the morning, the tree had been stripped. Not one peach left.<BR/><BR/>Apparently someone else was watching it at the same time. <BR/><BR/>People, phooey. Give me squirrels anytime.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100565897627429788noreply@blogger.com
