Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 ACK, that moose was trespassing. LOL Put a " no critter allowed to graze " sign. Surely they will read it. LOL sorry, I do feel your frustration, but had to be mischievous. Judy - Katie Tuesday, May 20, 2008 12:44 PM Re: Southern Fried Okra I heard about how great fresh okra was, so decided to grow some this year. I started it in the house along with my tomoatoes and cukes and even the brocolli. I set it out one afternoon to start hardening it and it did fine. The next afternoon it went out again. Along came a moose. He apparently liked it because he ate it first. URGH!!! He did not leave even one. There were a couple where he only ate the tops, but the plant died with no leaves left on it.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 We got some new neighbors this spring and I just saw them tying bars of Irish Spring Soap to their trees. I couldn't stop laughing. They can and assured me that they had it on good advise that moose wouldn't touch a tree with Irish Spring in it. I recounted the story of a couple years ago when I tried. Those darned moose ate the soap and the tree. Katie egetarian_group , " wwjd " <jtwigg wrote: > > ACK, that moose was trespassing. LOL Put a " no critter allowed to graze " sign.

Those darned moose ate the soap and the tree. We used to do that at the nursery for the deer. It does work but not reliably. Eventually they get used to it, or so hungry they don't care. I have most of a case of hotel bar size soaps that I'll be using for years. Pepper sprays work until it rains usually. We have terrible problems with Bambi & Thumper damaging stock.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oh Katie, I feel for you! the other day a squirrel ate my ginger shoot that I had just managed to sprout so I can have my own home grown ginger. I almost cried. Darn squirrels. We got okra too, too small to transplant. Growing Okra in Alaska must be a heck of a challenge!
