Critters are persistent and smart, aren't they?? They wait until the right time to go for the fruit! But so far they have not touched the pomegranates--yes, I have eaten about 3 pomegranates in the last two years. Maybe they are confused by the exotic species--pomegranates are not supposed to grow here--too cold. Or the thick skin hiding the fruit fragrance.Just like my grape vines in the backyard. I pruned them every year to produce good yield. All are eaten by raccoons that religiously come to my backyard every year around the time when it begins to ripe. They are less picky than I am and still enjoy unripe grapes. In the end, I get nothing left every year.
The carolina’s are still my preferred spot but the mrs hated the humidity so have to settle for the mountains. At least snow doesn’t stick around here like the menace it is to the northern states.
Where are you, approximately? Humidity sucks but only lasts 8-10 weeks of suffocating weather.
The wife actually shoveled last time as I was away.
I specifically told the kids to keep an eye on her.
But my old snowblower has seen better days with me being lazy about draining the gasoline and tuneups. Solved the lawnmower issue by getting a battery operated one (which rocks BTW) and I kind of look at the gas snowblower with contempt.
May have to get a battery operated one too.
Invest in Kobalt 80 V battery powered tools. I have their pole saw, chain saw, leaf blower and weed eater. They even have a self-propelled push mower but our yard/property is too big for that so a trusted 13 year old Craftsman riding mower does the job.
