Second season gives you double the chance so good luck. Glad you got some rain. For what it’s worth, hubby bought me a new rain gauge.
Before my cup of coffee, I walked outside into the already sweltering heat (7:30) only to see that the #@@#)*&@ armadillos had a party again last night. I had replanted okra, for the third time, yesterday and they had the whole thing dug up, started big time on the only tomatoes that are producing and went on to the corn. I over did it out there yesterday so was too tired to put up the chicken wire so was going to do it this morning but they beat me to it. Of course, they’ll just nose their way under it but I’ll give them that chance.
I knew a West Indian fellow who swore up and down that armadillo is delish, properly prepared. I asked if anyone knew how to field-dress an armadillo, and FReeper Tijeras Slim (I think) said same as a pangolin, only use a bigger knife. Hmpf.
:-( about the armadillos.
Hope you are able to get a good solution!
the #@@#)*&@ armadillos
A few years ago my daughter heard a horrid racket outside, midnight- hubby sleeping soundly. She saw a really large armadillo in the yard tearing things up in general. She went into the bedroom for the shotgun being quiet so as not to wake hubby. Got outside and had no shells. (Normally it was always loaded) Back in the house careful not to wake up hubby. Back outside- big blam, no more armadillo. She did however have one very surprised husband the next morning. One of those cases not a hunter by nature- but also not going to have her yard/flowers/garden torn up either.
