Lucky, Melissa. My Lou Sneary 'Bluebird' had 3 spikes started when I left for my trip to see the grandkids, and when I got home two had blasted. DH didn't tell me when they had a big cold front while I was away and it went down into the 40's one night.
I do trap the raccoons, Ken and in fact I did have the trap out last night, but a possum got to the trap first, and he was in there patiently waiting for me to free him when I woke up this morning. A nice County Wildlife Services lady comes and gets them when I trap the raccoons. They 'relocate' them out to Myakka State Park, but she tells me most don't survive the move, sadly.
It would be easier to dislike them if they were ugly and stinky like the possums.
