Greetings from Pontiac, MI. Well, I'm not exactly in Pontiac right now; I'm in TX. I've driven a truck, on and off, for the last 20 years. Like gardening, it's an addiction.
Speaking of gardening, I don't know why, but I love growing peppers more than anything else. I've dedicated all of my available beds to peppers this year. I took over my son's bedroom to grow peppers. Well, the ceiling was falling in, so we had to move him. But now that that panic is over, I've conned him into letting me have my growroom for one more year.
The deer love my peppers. So much so, that they can't wait for them to grow. They just chomp the plants at will. I've put up a fence, they jump it. We put soap up, they ignore it. I have scared them out a couple of times, and that has seemed to keep them at bay for awhile. We did get a motion detector sprinkler, so we'll see how that works. Trouble is, they come in at different entrances. Oh well.
I can't believe how much information is available on THP. I love this place! You've inspired me into greatness in my own mind. I can't help but feel a little intimidated by the knowledge some of you have. But I've noticed that most are kind on here, and are glad to lend a helping hand. That is what made me sign up. Everyone is a rookie at everything they do, at some point in their lives.
I'll share more with you later, as my break is up, and I need to put some distance between myself and Texas.
Ciao for now.
