LOL! yeah...I was wondering if our culprit was possibly a ‘possum as well. We do have both in our area, I understand. Hard to tell.
I took a deep breath today and went ahead and planted my okra. Hoping it’ll all be OK!
Possums we have too. Find them as road kill now and then. Also had one get into the garage one time. At first I thought it was a big rat. Jeez, should’ve heard me scream.LOL
Well, the little booger got into my beds again. This time, it dug up several of my spinach plants and some green pepper plants. I can’t set traps of any kind because of the cats, so I went to the local Dollar Store and bought 12-1 bushel size laundry baskets. I set them over the plants and put a rock on top to stabilize them. So far, so good. What-ever-it-is has avoided digging around the baskets.
