Out in the garden on this beautiful Brisbane autumn day, which is feeling more like spring?
You may remember my battle with possums and scrub turkeys in the establishment of a little plot of kitchen garden soil to call my own?
Today I think the Mr and I have come up with a solution!
Ok, so it is not the prettiest of solutions.
It is looking a bit better now I have tidied up a bit and weighted the base of the bird shade with some old pots and bricks (light was too bad to take a picture at this point)
The kids think it is a great tent...
Oh, and now I can plant something! Just a few herbs and a bit of rhubarb...I don't want to get too carried away until I know it is gonna work!
Looking in to my kitchen window..
Have a great long weekend!

Great work!! We too have a pesky possum devouring our garden. I used to think it was cute...then kinda funny...now...I'm completely over it!! Best of luck with your little "keeper-outer-er" :)
ReplyDeleteDie possums die!
ReplyDeleteI saw a great idea in my new self-sufficient gardener book... to put glass jars or the like upside dowm on the end of the stakes to prevent the net from ripping/getting caught.
you are such a bushy, Jay! You're gonna have all the animal rights people complaining about my blog...:)
ReplyDeleteGood idea about the tops of the stakes - I might use some tin cans.
Yeah, sorry about that. I'm all talk... When Dad took me shooting, I couldn't do it - I purposefully aimed at the ground. It was much more my style to rescue the orphaned joey, ducklings and runts!
ReplyDeleteyou know I know you are all heart!
ReplyDeleteI think this net is a brilliant idea, I would like on for my allotment to keep out the pigeons, rabbits and butterflies.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job. I get jealous everytime I see your little garden. I'm planning on planting rhubarbs also - soon as I can find seeds.
ReplyDeletei am entering a renovation soon and am amazed by the windows in your picture. they look just the treat i'm looking for... inspiring. (thx for stopping by)
