Ehh, I've still had critters get in. We don't have a permanent patch, so we didn't bury the chicken wire, so things went under - even when it was staked down pretty well.

We have also had (presumably) animals go over the top and bend the whole fence inwards just to get in. ¯\(ツ)/¯

It does look similar. Honestly, I'm not much of a pepper person - I grew some seeds as both a challenge to myself, and for the family to have a kind of pepper they like. Can I grow them? Yes. Should I grow them? This time was also yes 😋

Thanks for the tip about the tinfoil - between that and a slug trap, it seems like the damage should at least be mostly mitigated.

Now I can't stop seeing a kangaroo 😂

Speaking of "deer crossing" - I was told there was a group of 3 deer in the street in front of our house, earlier in the morning!

It's a residential street that's hard to go fast on, so we don't have a "deer x-ing" sign.

Yeah, and sadly with kids in the neighborhood, I'd hate to be responsible for a Lyme disease outbreak or something like that 😅

What I think it is, is that every single person who ever consumes it, will eventually die. We are also literally dependant on it. If you stop ingesting it for too long, it can also cause you to die... That's how it went around here, at least.

Does he think that you think that he is grass/greenery/(what is that, sedum?)? Silly snek.

That and the smell of burnt toast, I think...
