My dad is terrific, but he hasn’t been very supportive of the plans my mom and I have to grow vegetables in the flower box on the south side of our house. I suspect it may be because he doesn’t want to eat any of the vegetables that the flower box may produce. Anyway, it hasn’t concerned him much that the chipmunks and cottontails have been stripping our baby plants of all their leaves. So while he was at Scout camp this week, I purloined his circular saw, a staple gun, some wire mesh and scrap lumber and got to work. I never took wood shop in high school, so the end result was no masterpiece, but it has kept our little plants from being denuded so far.
It was too late for the first tub; we'll have to replant
You’re so resourceful… LOVE the denim hinges
Good job.
Have fun with your garden!
This is one of the things I love about you… you always are so creative and find a way to solve problems with whatever you have around you, whether it be life or the need for some sort of contraption
You are too crafty. My favorite is the denim hinges too!
I just couldn’t help but smile and wonder how many people would have a post with the word “purloined” in it. Good job on the construction — glad you didn’t lose any fingers.
Way to go! That looks much more effective than trying to shoot the varmints with a pellet gun out of an upstairs bedroom . I HOPE it works better anyway.
As soon as I left the last post I noticed my smiley face o’s looked more like cyclopes -)
Well done, Maren! You are SO on your way to a PBS show.
