Trapping greens

When Deidra's parents were here, one of the many things they accomplished was the building of these 4'x12' vegetable traps in our backyard.

With retractable lids covered with chicken wire, the traps are specifically designed to only trap live produce, while allowing birds and animals to escape safely and humanely. (The construction design was inspired by dolphin-safe tuna nets.)

As you can see, we've already captured some lettuce, carrots, spinach, radishes, onion, peas, and peppers so far. We have also put in some bait that will hopefully attract some cucumbers and squash. And no squirrels, rabbits, possums, chipmunks, or birds have been harmed in the process.

What's the square root of 676?

We like using SkyMiles. Help us get more!

I have entered a contest for 100,000 Delta SkyMiles. After a few days, our entry has moved from about 5,000th place into 219th place. The top 4 get 100,000 SkyMiles. I know it's a long shot, but I thought I would try anyway. Plus, I haven't blogged for a while, so this was a good excuse!
