Why thank-you Thornius. Honestly when I typed that post, I had thought about what word would be best used to classify the three suspects. Then, I thought.."oh whatever...no one will care". Guess I was wrong...you care.

John, I'm not sure I have it in me to trap rodents (err..or an ominivore from the bear and panda family :rolleyes: ). Some gardener I am!

I talked to him a couple days ago. He said he's having computer issues and may be scarce for a bit.

Well a racoon is not going to be trapped with a rodent trap..The one I saw on my front porch recently who was eating dry cat food when it stood up was at least 2-1/2 foot tall or more. You can get a live trap and bait it for small critters or even to catch a coon and then take a drive out towards the country and release it from the trap. No harm to anyone that way.

I had something eating my mators, close to the ground, it had to be a turtle.

Somebody took a couple of chunks out of mine
today too...
I haven't been back there enough to catch anyone
in the act yet!!! :p


And mine are up on raised beds..
I'd love to know what's polevaulting up and grazing...

Yes I had a turtle also eating my lower hanging tomatoes...In fact it was still under the plant where it had dug down into the damp garden soil under the shade of the plant and was resting, after taking a bite out of at least 3 different tomatoes.

now you said you had to reach into the vine to get them but how far off the ground?
