First up - yep, those beans. I realized (too late) that they are pole beans, and not bush beans. Meaning that they are going to have to have something to climb on eventually. So - my first thought is to grab a cheap piece of semi-decorative fencing (or maybe two, one for each side) and just shove them down into the dirt on either side of my bean tub.
Thoughts?
Second - Blog!
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get the links at the tome, like "Home" and stuff. Help?
Third - Possum removal
Yep, the dogs cornered a possum a couple of days ago. Now I have nothing against wildlife in general, but dang if those things don't just look like big rats! And "big" is the operative word here, because this was a *big* possum! I think it's gone, because I made the dogs stay in and not try to chase it. Later they were barking up a tree, making me think the thing climbed its way out once it got dark.
Thankfully, it hasn't been seen since and the dogs haven't gone any more nuts than usual. But - how does one possum-proof a yard?
Just askin'. Let me know how I can work on any or all of these, lol!
And remember - tomorrow is Friday! Woo hoo!
Thanks!

I don't think there is any way to possum proof a yard. Having dogs would certainly discourage them, but otherwise I think you would have to get someone in to trap them and take them away. I have a spray that I bought from a hardware store (it's basically a capsicum/garlic spray that is supposed to discourage them and fertilize your plants at the same time) see if that works, if you can find it.
