Solar Powered Rodent Repeller ~ Motion Activated

 

In desperation, my husband told me to order a set of these.  I'll have to go back on my Amazon and get the actual brand, but there are several on Amazon (not an affiliate).  He's been working 16 hour shifts and we have no help to get the garden fence up.  These were charged and put in one of the gardens.

The next day, I did not see one squirrel.  I typically see about 3 going around munching on maple tree helicopters.  I have not seen any of them since these went into the garden.  I have not lost any more bell pepper plants either, and some are coming back (where something bit the tops off).  

If they continue to work, I will buy two for the other area we planted.  The ones I ordered stated they were also waterproof of course.


We continue to remain in drought conditions here.  I'm running out of blog content, so don't worry if you don't see daily posts. There is nothing going on but my husband working his bum off, me watering everything, and back to purging/organizing.

me too, purging and organizing. Less stuff and more organized if it needs to be moved, you never know. I'd rather know that what I have kept is what I want and not have to go through it in a hurry.

Faith, exactly! We are cracking up every time we find stuff we haven't used for years, or forgot about, or just don't use.

Wow, this gadget sounds hopeful! I wonder if it would work for groundhogs. We have one living under our garden shed that's helping itself to my garden. The cats will take care of mice, chipmunks, and shrews, but they won't mess with groundhogs (or skunks).

Leigh, I need to get barn cats again. The stray that was here, just up and left. Same with the last one. We were blessed for years. And we too have a ground hog living in the old barn ruble, so I may be getting two more and setting them at the other garden. I will update if I do. Yesterday I smelled skunk, so one is pretty close to the homestead.

After being inundated with squirrels and chipmunks the past two years, we haven't seen many at all this year. However, we have a big, fat raccoon who wanders the backyard at night. (Hubby gifted me a surveillance camera for the garden for my birthday... it 's fun to watch what goes on out there!) He can't get in the garden because it is fenced in. We also discovered a skunk wandering around and he did manage to get into one of the fenced in areas.

Debi, I have smelled a skunk around here a few days, but have not seen it. I should put a trail camera out there to watch too. I just haven't figured out where I put it last ha ha! It's somewhere around here.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
