It's planted at our cottage, right on the Bay of Fundy.sandy soil amended with bagged black earth. Oh, and the stealth camera sounds really awesome.sure would like to have one set up here Thanks Maria Debert NS _____ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Gary Myers Sent: Monday, October 10, 2011 10:13 PM To: naturens Subject: [NatureNS] Shortage of Raccoons Anyone? Here in Morden we are normally (blessed?) with a number of raccoons who make their regular nocturnal runs in search of food. For the past two weeks I have see no sign of them I have a stealth camera which I run 24/7 in my backyard and all I caught on it was a beautiful six point White Tail buck about two weeks ago, Doubly mystifying is the fact that we have a kiwi vine which this year produced far more fruit than ever before. Usually the raccoons patiently await the kiwis ripening then take their pick (literally). This year the kiwis are untouched. Does anyone have similar experience? I'm not complaining and if you have lots do not feel any obligation to send some over...I'm just asking.
