Haven't noticed a shortage of raccoons, but am interested in your Kiwi
vine.I planted one 3 years ago, mine is the variegated (pink/white/green)
leaves.it doesn't seem to be thriving.just wondering if you have any
suggestions for soil amendments that may help.  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

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.  Gary Myers Morden NS
