Re: Outrage!

I have covered the planters with that black mesh used to 
protect shrubs from the deer, but somehow I don't really
expect that to work.  It didn't really work for the azaleas
either.  We took away the bird bath - we're pretty sure
it was a raccoon because he washed his muddy feet
in the birdbath.  It was really loaded with planting soil.
There has been some digging in the planters before,
but never the complete devastation of this time.  Usually
just a hole dug here and there, but this time it dug out
every plant, threw them on the ground.  I had to search
around in the bushes to find one nice sage plant that 
was missing.  Some damage goes with living in the 
woods, but this is too much.

I wonder what you might be able to do to "have your cake".  Could you
construct something more durable in place of the containers? Something they
couldn't move?  If so, then I suppose you might still have to deal with the
digging.  Has anyone mentioned a digging deterrent?  Maybe one of those
motion-sensor sprayers.  Oh, I guess this is starting to sound like a
battle.  Anyway, Auralie, I'm on your side!  We need to figure this out!
