      Short term, try tossing a bunch of mothballs under the shed. Long term, wait until late summer and bury a fence down 12” around the shed. A pellet gun is easier and cheaper. 😀

        Better have a good pellet gun, tough sons of ........... Goose pinned him under a vehicle so I could get a point blank shot with a ..22 long rifle and it still took a couple.

          I had a 1200 FPS one pump. Killed a couple in their tracks but one made it back under the shed and stunk it up after a week or two.

            Mothballs- nope, didn't work.
            Pellet gun- lilnsl has been shooting them for the last several yrs. It doesn't work, they pop up. We would have to excavate the area around shed- there is a wood pile, french drain.
            Maybe a grenade!

              LOve this time of year. Lowes puts a ton of Perennials on clearance simply because they don't bloom in this season. They are all healthy. 3$ each. OK. Works for me.
              And Mandevilla 2.50 a piece. And a Hibiscus 2.50. For the win.

                So I'm up to about a gallon of harvested raspberries and black raspberries. Still have a lot to come. Normally we miss this with a vacation, but with everything so late due to the wet winter and spring, I'm getting them now. Oh, so nice.

                    Been driving on the coast the last week, I've seen a 4 petal flower on a 12 to 15 foot high tree. Most of them have been white but also saw an orange one. Not much to go on but what is it? It looks like an oriental dogwood but I assume that blooms in spring?

                          Odd. I know you are too the north but shouldn't dogwoods be done now?

                          My Daylilies are spectacular right now. Insane show. All diff hybrids. My Uncle belongs to the Indiana Iris and Daylily org (don't know the name). Every yr they have a sale and some of the daylilies don't get sold or lose their tags, etc. He sends them to me. Starting to mature and spread. Wow!

                            Ours are insane also. We only have orange in our garden and our neighbor has a beautiful orange and red combo, but when we were at my parents' place last weekend, my dad has 100s of daylillies in a ton of colors and it was gorgeous. It's such a haven there (my dad's plan was to plant as much as possible around a giant house on their small plot so he would never have to mow when he retired -- mission pretty much accomplished).

                                I think that will be next year's plan. I am awaiting permission to dig up the death bush in my backyard plot (I'm not sure if I need permission from the Condo Association, but I figure better to ask permission in this case). I will probably enrich the soil and then plant in that bed next year. Whatever bush is there now is gross - it's growing like crazy (I didn't prune it last year because I didn't know how). It has tiny yellow flowers that have all bloomed and died and the dead blooms smell like rot. I aggressively cut it back already, but I'd like to just dig it out at the roots and start fresh.
