Bill and JoAnna's excellent adventure living in and restoring an 1856 Italianate farmhouse in rural Indiana.
Saw-whet Manor (12/07)
While searching for their first home, Bill and JoAnna visited an old, brick farmhouse and discovered a Saw-whet owl living in the front porch. At that moment, they knew they would buy the house.
This is a photographic reenactment of that event:

Looks like you should get a Scarecrow that can use a 12 gauge!
ReplyDeleteyour yard must be an incredible show after dark, try infared goggles.
Don't give up, all you need is a fence!
ReplyDeleteRabbits ate my broccoli last fall, neatly going down the row and eating each plant to a nub. Building of an 8 foot fence ensued (how high can they jump, anyway?) and no rabbit trouble as yet.
excellent idea, might need to go 4 / 6 inches below grade for anything that might burrow.
ReplyDeleteI still like the shot gun idea.

So does Bill!
