Garden Nuisance
Our garden was carefully fenced with chicken wire and metal stakes yet we are missing: 6 sunflower plants, 2 cucumbers (half eaten), 1 watermelon (mostly eaten). RJ and Sara have an idea - put the remaining watermelon in a trap. The result:
After dressing up in a jump suit that auto-mechanics would wear and putting on super thick gloves, I released the ground hog. The ground hog was not nearly as scared as the squirrel ... he looked at me as if thinking ... hurry up buddy, I have to get home.
Orb Spider?
I've seen a lot of these in Florida, but this is the first in Virginia. Contemplating getting rid of it, but also thinking that this thing could catch a lot of mosquitoes.
After I destroyed it's web in the middle of a walkway, the spider relocated to a less obtrusive corner.
