Just as I was bragging that we never see any critters around here, even though we live in the coutry...i was watering some nandinas that my sis brought me in pots which I have not been able to get in the ground. This one little pot just didn't seem to get enough water...so I started examinging the pot...and lo and behold, when I truned the pot around I discovered where an armodillo (aka 'possum on the half shell) had scratched through the pot trying to get at earthworms. He seems to have done quite a job...and probably ate quite a bit of plastic along with whatever insects he may have been after. I reckon I ought to be happy that they haven't been digging in my lawn (such that it is) or garden. However, I knew if my nandinas were to be saved, I'd have to go ahead and get them in the ground quickly. So, I spent half the night digging holes and planting something like nine pots of nandinas...many of which had mutliple plants per pot. Now lets just hope they don't dig up the plants.......
