    That sounds great!! A month or so ago, I had some old salsa in the fridge that had gone rancid. I dumped that down gopher holes. Kept them away for quite a while.

    This recipe of yours sounds like it would work even better (eggs, yeuck!). I'll give it a try.

    I have a few photos of the bunny/datura saga in my photo album now, if anyone's curious... I salvaged the uneaten leaves and made something with them - out of concrete.

    ...Datura is NOT for eating.

    you could also use peppermint and sage essential oil.
    Use 50 gtts peppermint to 30 gtts sage and mix it with water in a spray bottle.
    It's tedious to spray every plant,but worth it.
    our boys use to do it til they grew up and moved out so knoe Bilyy and I have to

    I just had a really cute visitor yesterday. A little spotted fawn left by his mother in a cool spot not five feet from my bedroom. Startled him when I brought the lawn mower through to mow the front yard. Really hate that he left his nice little spot. He had water and shade. I keep a concrete water dish full under the hose bib there. Spotted his mother out in front eating on the roses later though. They don't seem to go back where the garden is which is good.
