I've got everything out of both of mine now except the orchids of course, even all my seedlings are enjoying the fresh air and sun. The electric fence sounds like a good idea. I've got my Hibiscus out front this year and so far, knock on wood, they're being left alone. I don't know whether they've not started coming around yet or the Milorganite I put down in them is keeping them away. I need to put some more down though since we had rain yesterday and it probably got washed into the soil.
