Well, I hung all the epi baskets under this tree about three weeks ago and they have not been botherd so far. They just haven't found them yet probably. But, I have to start worrying about the gourds again this year. Last year they ate my only two or three gourds I managed to get growing. I posted pictures of those in the Gourd Forum somewhere. Here are my epie's and they are starting to finally grow some, I even got about three buds on them. I am using these hooks that have swivels on them and when they are touched they turn.. maybe the darned rats will fall off.
