Garden Dangers

[Wi-sunflower]

Farmer's Daughter,

Get yourself a Moma cat.

We had a horrible chippie / ground squirrel problem at our old house. The lawn was sooo full of tunnels you couldn't walk across it without turning your ankle. Anyway, one spring, someone dumped a pregnant cat that became wild and raised several litters in the barn. While we fed them some, she was the best hunter and by the end of summer we didn't have a chippie problem any more.

Moma cats are usually great hunters.

I don't like snakes and fortunately around here we don't have hardly any of any kind.

In Indiana where my in-laws are tho they have some kind of relative of a cobra. It will stand up just like a cobra tho it isn't deadly. I think it does have a bite and mild venom. But I was walking on some of our property one day and nearly stepped on one of them. Scared the heck out of me at the time.
