I mean, how much zucchini bread can you eat? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 692640Plant a few extra plants around your garden since they obviously like it. And then fence them out of your garden Garden is fenced they fly in there...... Yeah zucchini is prolific however in this Texas heat soon the sun will kill off those plants no matter how much you water them. It'll be damn near a hundred today, 10 degrees above normal Handguns are a skill; shotguns an art; rifles a science. _____________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner.

BRIEF AND TO THE POINT
User ID: 381742 United States 06/08/2009 10:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you will need some bird seed and a huge rock way up on a hill. Tie a string to a piece of wood to keep the rock from rolling down the hill. When the roadrunner starts eating pull the string and the rock will crush him. If that don't work you will need a giant rubber band,a spear and... Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

Quoting: OmegaNaw they just pecked at em, left several beak shaped triangle holes in each squash..... That isn't so bad ... you still have your food! I lived in Oregon once upon a time and we had a Mole or Gopher in our garden. Plants would just disappear down under the earth overnight. They loved artichoke. Now that was a problem, they didn't even leave me any scraps! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 669148 United States 06/08/2009 10:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Road runners are cool birds! I was out in the yard, and one ran by me within 15 ft. with a lizard hanging out of each side of it's mouth. It didn't go any faster seeing me with a rake in hand, so I doubt a scarecrow would do the trick. Where I am, we just feel that there is enough food for us and the birds. |
