Energy is better spent trying to figure out how to get more belly rubs :D<br /><br />@ al - I've also heard that hot pepper stuff is supposed to be good at keeping unwanteds out of the garden... the only trouble is that I wouldn't keep up on it. I'd be all gung-ho for about a week or two and then I'd either forget or be lazy about it... <br /><br />Have you tried the hanging-a-tin-pie-plate-on-a-string so that a bunch of them blowing in the wind would scare them off? I'm contemplating trying that, but I'm thinking that if I really want a garden, I'm either going to have to go with a stockade fence (not!) or an electric fence... ~sigh~Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535727503112098360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345159080512162817.post-55311851894420213342010-06-15T14:30:38.876-04:002010-06-15T14:30:38.876-04:00Ive been trying cayenne pepper to keep the critter...Ive been trying cayenne pepper to keep the critters away.
