I bet you do better with this than you think -- what gardener doesn't freely offer advice (and excess plants) to people just starting out? We like doing it so much that we forget how helpful we found it when we were newbies.<br /><br />I wanted to invite you to participate in the blog carnival How to Find Great Plants.

Last year I made a repellent out of eggs, garlic, pepper...it actually work-hopefully it will this year too.

And we have our resident fox that runs through the yard early in the morning. We have let him his way and hope that he behaves once we have our chickens.
