Gardening 105

This is what I will refer to as an advanced gardening class, because hell, I'm advanced that way in nearly everything...don't be a hater, its just true.

So we have three gardens...Garden one is just a pure herb garden....its got your Sage, your Dill, your Catnip..(dudes we have two cats, we aim to please), Oregano, and Basil among other plants I don't know what they are nor what they are used for and frankly, I don't give a poop..

Garden Two houses our Tomato's, beans, cucumbers and other various non carnivorous pieces of eatable shit...

Garden Three houses the big guns..

Watermelon and Pumpkins.

Now our gardens are raised gardens, because I will not allow the husband to dig up my yard...Only way we are digging shit in this yard is if I'm burying a body.

I have a huge yard, and I rather like it...So I try to keep the digging to a bare minimum.


Anyhoo, we have been having some issues with the neighborhood rabbits wanting to dine out at our garden. The bastards walk, I mean hop , right into the garden and just help themselves like they have a reservation or some shit.

I have been trying to come up with things short of killing them to keep them out.

Trust me, the thought of standing out there with a huge rock to smash them on the head with is a very tempting thought, but I do think it would set a bad example for the tots.

And they get enough bad examples of behavior from mom as it is...

One night as I was attempting to pick up my house, I smelled this rotten smell. Like something had actually decomposed in my house.

And hell, I did not want to have to dig a fuckin hole to bury it either...

My sniffer tried like hell to find the source of this Oder.

Low and behold it came from a shoe. A shoe my 11 year old son wears.

I thought to myself, self, u need to burn this.

Then I got the idea to set the smelly piece of footwear into said garden and hope that the smell would keep the rabbits out, as it sure as hell cleared out the humans.

I set that shoe in there a few weeks ago, and no rabbits have been back.

Maybe its because they heard I have buried a rabbit in my yard before, or maybe they really don't like their nibblets smelling like rotten ass.

Either way, they are gone..

I wont charge you for this gardening tip...take it and run with it..

God Speed my little green thumbs, God Speed.
