I have noticed some corn cobs were peeled back and eaten on the ground. Some corn stalks were pulled down. I immediately know that the raccoon was the culprit. I don’t have the money to install electric fence so I put a paper bag over the soon-to-ripe corn cobs. This seems to help. Anyway the corn we grow this year is called Ashworth and it is small, about 6″ long but it tastes good. However I think I am growing to grow a different variety next year.
Recently I picked up a book called Square Foot Gardening, very interesting and I will share the result as soon as I finish and follow the instructions.
