| I started growing blueberry plants in containers on my deck. Things seem to be going great. The ripe ones seem to be disappearing! Now, I know birds love them. But, I never have seen a bird over there. However, based on the huge feces in my fountain I keep finding...I am convinced there is a raccoon coming on my deck some nights. (can't seem to trap him...but got a couple opposums). Do you think the raccoon is my thief??? |

| Raccoon's do not bother my blueberries but they do like fruit so if the poop is blue..... Birds on the other hand are a pain. Mylar ribbon helps a .22 or a pellet gun works better. |

| Hmmmm. "based on the huge feces in my fountain" I certainly hope it is a raccoon and not one of your neighbors. |
|
| n....haha. I actually thought of this! Doesn't everybody have one neighbor like this? Researched the feces (ugh)...raccoons have big bimbos. |

| Possums LOVE berries. And have pretty impressive scat as well. |

| Yes,but I gave him permission.He initially asked if he could 'borrow' some and when I said yes,it seemed like he was around every morning. .22 or a pellet gun huh?I'll have to look into that. :) Brady |
