Gayle, your garden sounds so fresh and yummy. We cut back and didn't put in enough cucumber and tomato plants this year and have run out already. We put in too many squash plants and have given lots away.
Texas ladies - any repellant for armadillos? The critters got most all of my daffodils and work every night in my rose garden. I don't want to put up fencing around that area, but might be forced to.

I've got an armadillo that's digging in my yard too. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I'm too tired at night to go out with a flashlight and a gun!!!!

Diana, I'm with you on the tired! Harold told me that pouring human urine will keep them out. I reminded him that it hasn't stopped them where he goes out back! And, when I have to go, I have to go - no time to grab a container!

That sounds interesting, Sandy. I'm going to have to think on that one for awhile.

Maybe you have to pee on the armadillo!
I had a critter that chewed quite a nice chunk of my deck wall. There isn't a hole though. I think I'll have to fill the chunk though. As long as there are no bears on my deck, I'm good. Jessie and Steve saw one running down the highway last week.

I had an armadillo that kept eating my caladiums. So I quit planting caladiums. Haven't seen the critter or evidence of him since.

I don't know how to get rid of armadillos. My daughter said one had been rooting around in their yard too.
Oh, now I remember something. I heard on the gardening show that they are rooting for grubs, and if you get rid of the grubs, they won't root up the yard. Of course, that didn't help with them eating Marilyn's caladiums, now did it!
