I shot it with my cross bow but it kept going onto other person's land and we are not allowed to follow then when that happens in this state, what a waste !!!Llayden said:
Ahh! We're growing cilantro also. I love cooking Mexican and southwestern food. This is my first time growing cilantro, however, and I just learned the hard way (with only one of the plants, fortunately) that you kind of have to be "mean" to it and regularly break off the stalks. Otherwise it quickly goes to flowers and loses its wonderful smell and flavor. Oops! CRAP!!winterheart01 said:

We've got cats too, but despite having plenty of yard for them to roam and play in, we have to keep them indoors. Around here, they're at the bottom of the food chain. Several neighbors have already had their cats fly away with eagles, never to be seen again.
that is the way I feel about the deer.egor said:
Oh man, that deer spray stuff is gross. We use it to defend various shrubs in the yard that can't really be protected any other way, but I hate it. It's most needed in the spring and summer months, when everything is at its leafiest. And, of course, that's also when we want to have our windows open. So, inevitably, the house ends up smelling of cayenne pepper, or rotten eggs, or deer pee, or whatever the spray's active ingredient is--for a day or two, anyway. I used the pepper kind last year. It worked ok, and was slightly less offensive to my nose than the other kinds, so that's probably what I'll use this year. I haven't sprayed yet, but probably should this week.dogboy said:
Yes a fence is good but a 7 foot, any thing less they can jump, is expensive. but as egor said I have no problem roasting them.dogboy said:

Will you get fertilizer as will then. and it is free.egor said:I realized something today. I am putting fresh bark dust on the front beds so that my wife's cat doesn't have to go inside to use the cat box.
I have been leaving at 8:00 for a Dr. appt/procedure every morning for the last three weeks and I have noticed that where I spread bark the day before there is several mounds in it in the morning.
I got back from the appt this morning and spread another 7 bags of mulch/bark dust, and her )^((^ cat wanders over just as I finished and clears a spot, takes a dump and makes a nice little pile of bark.
Well I caught the culprit this morning. It is a flying rat AKA Crow that the &()_&&^ Neighbor is feeding bread to every morning. The little Prick flew over from their front yard into my garden and dug around until I chased it off. Now I am on my way to get some shiny strips to hang up to attempt to keep it away.egor said:
I grew up with an arms collector for a dad, and shooting in the back yard (even in an ordinary neighborhood setting) was just a thing. What's more, Dad had a passionate hatred for crows, which was nurtured by my mom's love of robins. She'd seen a crow tearing apart a nest full of baby robins once, and after that, Dad had no patience for crows. He'd hear the cawing sound and grab the pellet gun. And he was a good shot. No crow ever got a second chance.dogboy said:
