Daaaaaamn possums/wallabies

Recommended Posts

Spewing :(

I lost a chunk of my future garden last night, oh the carnage... the horror.... lol

I had a rather busy day and afternoon and ended up forgetting to put my plants back in the greenhouse for the night, so there they sat out the front of my place after having a nice day in the sun only to have the wildlife come and devour them.

Amongst the casualties were:

Chillies

Morning glories 

Sida rhombifolia

1 rooted sceletium cut

An apple seedling

Hawaiian baby woodrose (will survive, they only had a small nibble)

My own fault I know but still pretty spewing about it... 

Who do they think they are, no respect I tells ya!:ana::wink:

i like the possums, they're great little garbage disposals but yeah, they do take a liking to certain plants. i had some heimia gifted to me but I had no place to put them other than on the ground and i came out one morning just to see them stripped bare. they didn't recover :(

 

edit: for some reason they dont like tomatoes though

Dogs and birds are just as bad lol

Strawberries only had a couple i always say i'll leave them one more day and there gone, only had a few dam birds

My dog has a liking to my capsicums & tomatoes i went to show my neighbor some that were getting big the other day only to find the dog found the plants that started fruiting, every year i say i'll build a fence to keep her out hasn't happened yet.

If it's dry enough brush tails will chew on tomato foliage hard if they are struggling too get green pick and can get at them I've found. The smell usually deters them and is a last resort

 

I've also learnt soon is now dicko when it comes to browsing animal control :wink:If you've thought of it, the animals are laying in wait, if not already checking.

 

Deer provide a few challenges... A fckn bird was last year's challenge though,no doubting the intelligence that one had...

 

Them animals can just break your heart feasting on your efforts... Lol... Once I thought I was gonna have a stroke or psychotic break after a breach:lol:
