March 3, 2008

Quick post for tonight as I've been up late researching Raccoon solutions.  My mom's friend that warned me against doing corn with raccoons around (we've got a family that uses my yard as a highway).  If it were attractive, I'd put razor wire around the fence where my garden is, hehe.  Boy am I worried.  They walk right by my blueberry bed and potato bins.  Gotta figure it out.

Speaking of blueberries.  I took a couple of new pics of my bushes and the dead-looking one is looking cool now.  See...



Notice the little wite nodules all over the canes?  I wonder if those are the flower buds that I need to remove to promote root growth rather than berry production.  Also note all the tulip volunteers that we missed (as did the squirrels apparently)!  I hope they don't take away from the nutrients for the blueberries.  Tulips are my wife's thing, the blueberries are mine.  Can't you tell?

    Hi -- I just posted some "remedies" that I found in a book that I have had for a couple of years. I posted on the Ft2Garden.com message board. See if you think any of these will work for you.

    Oh I just wanted to see if this will show up on the comments.... it's a pic of what I have for the link on my blog to your gardening blog. I used your garden layout as the background for the pic. If this doesn't work, check out my blog and you'll see the link on the right side of my page :-)

    Judy, thank you very much! I will check out the remedies on Ft2Garden.com, and I've already noticed the cool pic on your blog! You are so creative, and you say you can't "draw" HA! I'm lucky I figured out how to list the blogroll in the order I wanted it in!
