Who Ate My Flowers????

You know, it really is woman against the animals!!
I'm still planting flowers and herbs. And the other day I planted some long planters on the lower deck - geraniums petunias and marigolds. And this morning.... THE GERANIUMS WERE GONE!! And I don't need CSI in here to tell me - the varmints ate them!! Grrrrrrr Well, I was upset. Now, I realize that when you think about all the problems in the world, that is no big deal - however, it was my problem and I was pissed!!! I have another planter on the drive way that also has geraniums in it and so I had to do something. B suggested checking the garage for spray to keep critters away. I found one for deer and rabbits. OK, sounds "good". I don't do this but, I had no choice. I sprayed my plants. WELL (as Jack Benny would say if you are old enough to know who he was) I can see why no self respecting critter would come near the plant. This spray is black in color and STINKS. I sprayed the plants, then came in and put the stuff away and washed my hands. Then I went into the living room and SMELLED the spray! WOW, does it stink. Let's hope no critter would come near. However, the smell is in the house. After spraying Freebreez all over I have lit several candles... and can still smell the stuff. Well, let's hope that the result is that they leave my plants alone...
