I saw a small flock(9), of Canada Geese in my neighbors' yard over the weekend. I was down in the patch and throwing stuff at them when I saw them in my yard.
They apparently figured out what time I go to work, cause I've picked up poop, right up to the fence around the patch, Mon. & Tues.
Has anyone heard of them being a problem w/pumpkins?

This AM I tied string 6' off the ground across wide open areas around the patch, will hang foil pie plates tonight.
My thought being they don't like anything overhead in case they have to escape a predator(me).
thanks

Hey Glenn
Sorry I missed you guys last weekend, there must have been a mis-communication.
I've got a yellow Lab, Capt.Nemo, but they scare him.
He must have a yellow streak.

Labs are great dogs but useless with geese. Try a border colly instead.
