The possums don't mess with the garden at all. They're too busy inspecting the compost pile and cat food bowls up at the house.

Lately there's been an armadillo problem that started in the yard by the house and then moved down to the garden. There the 8" deep conical holes were mostly along the bed sideboards. You can see one in that pic of the bed corner I posted. It's hard to catch them digging but the shotgun has eliminated the problem... for now.

The raccoons seem to come for the real early corn and then hang around for the later variety. I really push the planting window so I think the early stuff is ready before the silage corn grown a few miles from here and that draws the coons in. For whatever reason, there were no visitors last spring/summer.
