I'm attempting to catch our moles. So far, they are not playing to the rules! :mad:

Funnily enough, I am doing exactly the same thing! And mine must have read the same counter terrorism books as yours, because they refuse to be caught, yet continue their nightly infrastructure destruction.

One day I'm going to disappear into a gigantic crater trap in the garden, dug by an army of moles. :rotfl:

morning ! i am indoors on a wednesday....cant move thats why !! boy am i stiff !!:o

as a child ,as a family we had guinea pigs....i love em.. i remember my dad bought a garden shed for his tools etc and my sister and i comandeered it for GPs ! we had runs all over the lawn and theyd go out daytime ,shed night time. JIMPY is the 1st one i can remember. a big fat golden lump ! they seem to be smaller these days?? or maybe they SEEMED bigger cos i was small !!:) i kept GPs up until 4 yrs ago . i love thier vocalness....
my poor dad lost "his shed" on many occasions [he still has same shed so over 50yrs old and still there !]. i bought my welsh cob foal when i was 17 and didnt tell my parents ! i had him in a field with a friends foal so just claimed i was helping her ! after 3 months, one sunday afternoon i cleared out "the shed" and cut the door in half and sneeked foal in the shed and called my parents to come look...... my dad just looked stunned [not sure wether it was his chopped shed or a foal looking at him tho!:rotfl:] my mum just said "i knew you were up to something!" and walked back indoors. thus began my bringing home animals in bulk !! i always used the line "if i hadnt had it, it would have been put down" knowing my dad would sympathise !!;)

the joke was that i literally couldnt go anywhere without an animal coming back with me... i went on a school trip [11yr old] to petticoat lane market and i spent my money on a rabbit !! came back in my school bag?? miss petty lived for years...
i used to bring neighbours dogs home [5-7yrs old] and tell my mum they wanted to live with me :rotfl:. she had to take them back:o
also when the forest ponies had the freedom of the villages [now cattle gridded] i used to open our gate to let them in....again when i was 5-7 yrs old !! im amazed that my mum and dad survived mentally with my antics !!:rotfl:. none of my 3 brother/sisters had this trait tho.....

my friends calling for a cuppa soon and i have to go fetch later "big dog" that i look after when they go away.

i HATE being incapacitated....very frustrating but needs must or i will be out of action even longer if i push it:)

You see, I should check the traps before I speak. Caught one of the little beggers Mind you, it's huge, hardly fitted in the trap. I wonder if it's the one which has ruined my strawberry/raspberry/currant patch/all raised beds, I hope so.

I don't like killing things, except for food, but sometimes you have to.

Our mole has lurched back into action as well, : straight after that rolling left everything looking so smart too! Still...he's in the field. If he stays there he's ok, despite making the most mountainous molehills I've seen for a while.....maybe he has a temperament like mine!

I have a mix of different breeds as most of mine are rescues however I do have a number of skinnies (hairless) and Abys (which I adore).

Ha! I'm going to do some too for companion planting as well as poached egg plants.
I have a gardening book & the author stated any gardener can't have too many marigolds but that many on my decking would create a jungle:rotfl:!!
