I just want to keep the armadillos out.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-49899244449689460962016-11-17T14:42:48.159-08:002016-11-17T14:42:48.159-08:00We are only keeping the deer out.

Gardening year round can be exhausting, can't it?! I guess I should count myself lucky on one hand to have raccoons as regular visitors - they do a great job taking care of the snails.
