Critter Control is always an issue. I used to have regular raccoon attacks as well as wild mink when I was raising laying hens for fun and little profit.

I found that keeping a radio on in there 24/7 with a Talk Radio station playing helped; hearing human voices seemed to be a deterrent, though, of course, my hens were always quoting Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, LOL!

LOL! I was just amazed at how many coyotes were yipping and howling last nigh, they were gone from our area for a couple of years and now they seem to be back. Our area comprises over 200sq miles of both federal and state forest lands and we have six acres blended in with others here. It’s a forest paradise.

I started the deep cleaning of my greenhouse today.

Tore out some netting and metal trellises.

Uses one of those Shark floor steamers (like a swiffer,) a spray decreased, and a squeegee. Completely cleaned he inside of rhe polycarbonate panels and half of the exterior panels.

Have to do the exterior of the 2 short ends and North side of roof/wall tomorrow.

System worked fantastic!

Tomorrow I am going to start eggplant tomorrow and pepper seeds! The garden is technically starting....life begins anee!
