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 =

  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.  =
