For Andy, when we were foolish enough to have an outside garden up on the land, it was gophers and ground squirrels. We were happy to share, but they wanted everything. One cheeky ground squirrel would chatter at us if we spent too long in his garden. Eventually he would rush in and start eating in a part of the garden away from us. Then there was the day that we were looking at the garden from outside of it and we saw a plant get sucked into the ground before our very eyes. Andy grabbed a stake and rushed into kill that blasted critter doing it.
He didn’t. It was hopeless, and we had to give up the idea of an outside garden. That’s why we have our greenhouse.

Over here it is also pigeons and birds … and cats leaving presents everywhere.
God bless.
