We had 15 big green mortgage lifter tomatoes on 1 plant that we were watching daily for any sign of a blush. They all disappeared overnight.
We found one little ping pong size leftover down in the brush where the bunnies like to run away to when we come around.
So far they have not been tempted by anything in the traps. Hubby said he thinks he needs to start keep trying after the harvest and during the winter when they will have less to steal.
I had an entire crop from two Persimmon trees stolen a few years ago, probably 150 apple size fruit, some about 10ft up.
Glad to hear you had rain. Good to hear that you have enough to can. We eat all that comes out of our tiny garden.
We have not had any rain in about 10 days or so here. We are still getting tomatos and hot peppers. We have about 20 green maters still. I can’t believe that we are still picking maters this late. Usually the end of June is about it for us.
The pellets I got to keep squirrels out, work for bunnies. If a squirrel/bunny got 15 tomatoes, I would wring their necks while I was crying for my tomatoes.
I've decided not to do those pellets myself since my son is coming for a couple of days in August. I'll let him do it because it is over 100 degrees every day now.
Yesterday, went to fine dentist and offending tooth is out and today I can't even tell he took it out - no pain at all from his taking it out. I never get tense going to him or when he is working on a tooth. He is also tall and a very handsome blond, but is still a fine dentist even though “pretty”.
I have never had a tooth hurt like this one did for days - while I was there yesterday, the tech told me one elderly lady had such a bad toothache, she put GASOLINE in her mouth. She had to be senile to do that. Gasoline can get in a lung very easily and you die of poisoned lung pneumonia so to speak. It's dangerous for men to suck up gasoline in a hose to get it to flow, but some do it anyway. Men are not the brightest of people when it comes to their survival - they take too many chances.
Okay, so Johnny is a man - he takes too many chances, too.
Mighty big bunnies...that hop8 feet to the banana bunch! LOL.
And they carry machetes.
