twitcher, I do not mind the racoons I feed them. I leave out rotten fruit and I have a lot of fruit trees they get to eat from. I just put a rock on the garbage can.
Lynn, I love my hostas and it breaks my heart when they eat them down to the ground. Between the groundhogs and deer I am in constant battle.
I went into house hunting mode for 2 years to find enough land to garden to my hearts content and I finally found my 3 acres and did not realize I also found an entire county of wildlife to feed. They have had some really expensive meals. I have 15 to 20 deer in my yard at times. Especially when the apple trees come out.
