RE: Two large green tomatoes got chewed up yesterday -- who knows about electric fences?

Haha...yep...just the female flowers on squash, melons, pumpkins etc.

As for rat traps.... I set two old fashioned wooden spring traps(rat size).... And after a couple days, caught two big rats.... But now they all avoid them. Have had a couple springs, but no catch. Rodents are pretry smart with good memories!!

That's funny, that was similar to my experience. A month or more ago, I had set the 8 $2 rat traps I bought out, with half a grape on each I think, and the next morning one trap was sprung but nothing was in it. No traps ever sprung after that!

I'm ambivalent about the $200 A24 rat trap. I want them to stop but I don't much like killin'...
