RE: 2 WEEK LATE GARDEN UPDATE
lol, fences usually don't work with possums. They are great climbers, and if their head will fit through a hole their whole body will. If you want to catch and relocate, salmon, wet dog food, or sardines work pretty well. If you have bear in the neighborhood "do not" use salmon or sardines, they love those.
Oh yeah there are some bear. I may never get to grow food here. Besides the possum, which is a whole family now. There is deer, raccoon, rabbit, groundhog. I kid you not something even dug up my onions. That was rather surprising to me.
Maybe I should stick to ornamentals. This could become one big comedy with me trying to outsmart the wildlife.
If you have deer, they will eat some varieties of Rhododendron, and when they eat it they will kill it. I learned this one the hard way. I found a purplish one that they don't like, don't remember the name though.
