    Need To Get Possum Trap Out

    We have been buying baby coloured carrots lately , so decided to try putting the tops into a saucer of water & see if I could grow some. I went out this morning to put some more in the saucer & they were all gone . This saucer was full last night so I am guising a possum . The saucer is on a table with lots of other small pots of plants I am growing from cuttings& there is no room for Peter the Possum & none of the other plants have been disturbed & normally possums are messy eaters leaving bit's of food on the ground & there was none of that, unless the birds have taken them before I went out this morning this is the 1st time any have gone in the two weeks the saucer has been there . May have to set up a camera. Also I have noticed I have not had any Snow Peas the last week , I had been picking a hand full every day off the two vines but may be they have finished fruiting. Just hoping what ever it is dose not move onto the tomatoes & fruit trees that have just started to fruit .
    Wish I had more room for a bigger garden.

    My tip is to feed it. Trap and move and another will come in. I have one which is nice and territorial and keeps others out. Once you teach some table manners yours acts as a bouncer to protect your garden. Some extra hot Chilli spray on the veggies might help the training. Nice looking garden

    We don't have possums here But we do get plenty of Bobtail goanna's that visit (and a couple of permanent residents).
    They do tend to get stuck into the tomato's and cucumbers But they can only reach the low hanging fruits So I just ignore them as they are saving me from having to bend down too far to pick
    They scare the bejesus out of the missus with their rather loud hiss when surprised But other than that they are completely harmless.
