Mr. Flower has his own garden.
I am given assignments where it is concerned.
My latest assignment is “Save the Melons.”
I have to admit that I failed at this last summer.
I put a little fence ring around the melon.
I put a cover over the ring and checked it for ripeness each afternoon.
Just before picking time,
I discovered that something had crawled down into the fence
and eaten the inside of the melon leaving only the peeling.
So this year I am trying a new approach.
I have put Mr. Flower’s melons in mesh bags.
I am hoping the varmint will not like getting his claws or teeth ensnared.
Let’s hope this works.
Mr. Flower take produce production seriously.

Am fighting a royal battle with raccoons – have lost about 40 watermelons and 4 cantaloupes. Put a post on my blog about this not long ago. There are so many animals that eat melons. It takes a strong frame box with thick fence wire – with weight on top or fastened securely to the ground to save melons from animals.

Oh my! I guess I will need stronger deterrent materials.

I put bridal veil netting over the Papayas after losing several. So far, so good.
