    Yeah I just went out to check on everything and now my THIRD ripest strawberry has been halfway consumed... GRRRRRR.... I'm full of anger now... The red pepper obviously didn't work. So I put a laundry basket over the strawberries until I can make my way to lowes... This is irritating! They're...

    Repelling Squirrels?

    im thinking of a thin very strong pole that sticks up in the air several feet with a wide top, something that would be difficult for him to climb up and if he got up it, he wouldn't be able to get around the base of the tray... hmm. I'm thinking maybe a .22? 410? lol... pellet projectile?

    I am going to head into a nursery around the corner and see right quick. In the meantime, here are progress photos as of today. (15 mins or so ago to be exact) Exactly 2 weeks after I started everything. I have provided direct links to the pictures so the page is more user friendly...

    Aww!

    I'm a jerk. I was fiddling with my venus flytraps just a second ago... found a baby wasp that landed on me... thought it would be a good lunch, so I fed it to one, which it quickly crawled out of.. (I like to let them squirm to trigger the fine hairs and tighten the grip, morbid I know...) That...

    My first Gardening adventure... (Progress Thread)

    No I do believe that I need another strand of blueberries to pollinate my flowers. Today is the first day that I've noticed the bell-shaped flowers opening up. Any idea where I could possibly order blueberry pollen from online? I would like to see fruit this year if possible! One...
