RE: What's in the garden today?
In fact I do! I was thinking about posting about that as well! we'll see how much that fucker likes rat traps. Any ideas other than that for getting rid of a skunk?

You just had to ask. They burrowed under my neighbors garage facing my property. There are three girls renting there and I asked them to tell their landlord. He didn't do anything until the family expanded under their back porch then he sent someone to trap them. I asked the guy about the one(s) living under the garage and he said the landlord didn't mention anything about the garage. All he did was go over there and threw sand over the opening....I could have told him that wouldn't work since I had already tried filling in the holes, they dug them back out, filling the holes with water, that didn't discourage them, placing a huge slab of concrete with bricks on top, they just dug under them. So I am sure the girls were giggling at me like wile e coyote after the roadrunner when I was out there digging a huge trench alongside the garage. I took some chicken wire and nailed it to the bottom frame of the garage then placed some discarded treated 2x4's after replacing my back steps down into the trench to hold down the bottom of the fence securely then replaced all the dirt. That worked.....up until I notice the other day a hole on the other side of the garage. I normally wouldn't care but my grand kids run around back there, between their yard and mine it must seem like a football field to them and the girls don't have a problem with them running around, they never use the backyard anyway. My dog is also a concern since he's been sprayed twice but it's been awhile since he's been sprayed. I think twice was enough for him, at least I am hoping it was. He survived last summer without getting sprayed and so far so good this summer though I know Pep'e back there since I seen him last night while watering some trees I planted. I can see why he chooses that location since there isn't a whole lot of use, is highly vegetated, wooded and there's always a continuous supply of fresh water from a ceramic tray I keep in my flower garden....so yeah I am partially to fault.
