In the struggle with garden-eating rabbits...

...I'm getting ready to up my game.


One thing the rabbits and deer somehow manage to let alone is our pineapple plants. Here's the first pineapple of the season, sun-ripened on the stalk.


Less tart, and sweeter, than pineapples bought in the grocery store. It was delicious.

  1. Nice pineapple!

    And I like the chain gun ... ... no more rabbits!

    1. Might lose a few neighborhood cats, and even a neighbor or two, but I'm willing to bear that cost.

  2. The Bushmaster is awesome, but have you thought about a pet owl?

    1. I'm afraid an owl would slack off just like the local hawks, which do the easy stuff, like mourning doves and the occasional duck.

    I've considered constructing mini-Claymores for the stupid little rodents around my house, but so far have decided to leave them for the owls.

    So far.

  4. I swear somebody over at the gun range has something close to that chain gun. The range is miles away, but I can hear it, and somebody over there has something really big.

  6. my father-in-law planted some of his pineapple tops to the side of his condo years ago; never managed to get the ripe pineapple from them; someone else must have been waiting and watching...

  7. We put our pineapple plants outdoors for most of the year, but bring then inside over the winter. That can make indoor navigation...a bit problematic.

  8. I wonder how many pineapple plants I would need to feed my twice-a-day pineapple habit?

    I started having floaters in my eyes, until I read that eating pineapple can help get rid of them. So, I increased my consumption (not hard to do, I like it) and the floaters have mostly gone. Coincidence? IDK, but it's a good excuse to eat more pineapple.
