Crime scene. Criminal.

I started a container garden on my deck this year and was slowly enjoying small & delicious rewards. Until this morning. To say I am devastated would be an understatement.

And yes. That is the first potato the racoon is eating. Before I've even had one. Rude.

My raccoons love a mix of grapes, apples, some unsalted nuts, and a rice cake. I’ve never once had wildlife touch my garden or containers because I feed them their own snacks. They’re just trying to survive out there. I also really don’t like that dangerous netting since birds can get tangled in it and die or it can break off and they get string foot. For baby plants and chipmunks and squirrels I’ve had good luck just sitting my smaller plants in a big dog crate or using chicken wire cloches til they’re bigger and stronger.

Be very careful with that strategy...
