'Possum Pest Patrol

[Sea Mac]

Last night I worked in my garden until Midnight (Production Run of Plants Af001 - Af025).

About 8:30 PM I saw a baby opossum entering the garden.

Last night while I was working late a gang of 3 baby opossums came through looking for bugs and slugs.
 

by 10 PM I saw all 3 together: They've lost their mother but they have a Place to live (Under neighbor's house) and an all you can eat buffet now.

   
A baby opossum loudly crunches into a doomed garden pest.

I could hear noisy exuberant chewing from yards away: I think it was 3 inch long slugs or Grasshoppers. I went in at Midnight to leave them to their feasting.

Welcome opossum orphans! Just don't try to climb up the bushes please.

i don't know if you have armadillas or not there. i assume you must sinse you have oppossum.. if the armadillas come in they will very likely dig in your plants and damage them looking for grubs. i would recommend some caging around each plant for protection. i did that to my plant for that very reason. we have plenty of those here in alabama.
