Your posts are the reason I'm so determined!
I figure if you can grow them and get good production in Alaska by starting early then darn it I should be able to give it a shot!
QUOTE=carolyn137 VILE VOLES indeed. Solution for me was a flat blade very sharp shovel
Carolyn, my father used to stick a hose down the holes and drown them out. The cats we had then would prowl the yard waiting for them to come out the other holes and pounce. Of course those cats used to climb the rafters and pull down pigeons without much trouble. They'd also dig in the garden for the voles. I remember one cat (his name was "Carrots" but it should have been "Killer") laying in the barn doorway, looking as lazy as can be, until the barn swallows would start swooping in and out again...up he'd jump and caught the birds every time!
