My low maintenance garden kept me busy most of the morning today. My wonderful drip irrigation system wasn’t supplying sufficient water to keep the plant reservoirs filled. The plants got BIG and they now use lots of water each day. So I made a simple distribution system by drilling 22 holes in PVC pipe and running small full-flow tubes to each plant. Now the reservoirs get filled to overflowing in just 3 minutes.
Another task that has taken time on and off this week is trying to catch our pesky raccoon. I’m trying to catch a raccoon and not any cats. The raccoon’s favorite food is the dry cat food but if I use that as bait I will attract the kitties. I’m trying fruit, peanut butter and bread, cheese and some cat food. So far the coon has reached into the trap and grabbed food but has not entered it. I don’t think I’m going to get him.
