Peanut butter is a godsend for getting rid of mice. I caught two last year with it.

Re: Good afternoon Sherri
Well my brother cooks the meals and we rarely have potatoes because he says they are fattening. Anyway I am going to grow some this year and see if he can resist a nice baked one.

Re: Taps
Well it works but would you like to watch the wasps struggling to stop from
drowning also of course more wasps would keep visiting. I don't suppose you have
a garden but I hang bags of straw which imitate a wasp nest. Queen wasps like to
keep away from other wasp nests. Of course everything is a bit cruel but I have
found the quickest way is to catch the wasps nest early and sprinkle a safe
insecticide powder into the entrance of the nest this kills the queen and saves
having to dealwith all the potential offspring. One has to be careful doing this
preferably in the evening , not for genteel ladies. Once I made the mistake of
attacking a visible nest in the day time and whoosh out they came in a swarm. Of
course a wasp can sting several times whereas a bee's stinger is ripped from its
body and I assume it dies. I suppose if one does not like using insecticides a
bucket of boiling hot water would serve at dusk one just needs to kill the Queen.
Life is cruel at times and wasps do quite good things in a garden eating small caterpillars and greenfly.

Re: Kabu
Oh! dear Kabu I don't like watching a cat playing with a mouse, I think I am mouse
hearted. I would have to knock it on the head. The mouse I mean. Of course the cat
just thinks it is a plaything you cannot blame the little chap. A quick way is to bite
the mouse's head off.

hey you...staying well I hope. I like to catch a mouse in a trap and take it away from here and release. Graysome has other ideas. He won't eat, but play with it until its little heart gives out.
Then brings to Jim as a gift.

Son was just telling me today how to take care of the wasps that are already beginning to gather. It had to do with a large Coke bottle with a little bit of coke still in it and told me to sit it out on the porch. He said to make the rim so they could get in but not out. You know anything about that?

Good afternoon
That is a great deterrent for those little guys. They do love their peanut butter. As for the vegetables, we eat quite a bit of broccoli and potatoes. I for one could eat potatoes every day.
