Versus the Possum, Round Two

The ongoing battle of roof garden versus the possom continues. I think I’m making some headway.

Oh what, you can’t get past my genius chair barrier* to those delicious plants? Boo hoo.

Gives me the stink eye.

Changes tactics and goes for the cute and cuddly mammal routine. But I am strong and not easily fooled.

Yeah, that’s right take your plant eating ways elsewhere! I will not be defeated!

Possom – 1
Me – 1

Unfortunately, we think he/she lives in the rubble underneath the fire escape. He/she may be slow and a little bit dumb but he/she doesn’t have a far commute.

See round one here.

*Chair Barrier: It was Davin’s suggestion to employ a child safety gate as an extra layer of protection. It’s a good, if not somewhat ever-so-slightly risky idea, but since there is no way I’m going to fork over $30-100 to keep critters out of my garden I’ve put this chair in place while I wait for a used baby gate to pop up on Freecycle or the oppossum to give up already.
