So I got home last night and decided the garden could use some weeding. I changed clothes and walked out to find---much to my dismay---some rascal had been in there having lunch while I was at work!!! Where's the twelve-gauge? Hasenpfeffer anyone?
I can't swear it was a rabbit, there were no obvious breaches in the fence, no burrows that indicated some mole or other critter had popped in, but SOMETHING had been there helping themselves to peas, broccoli, Swiss chard and a bit of lettuce.Too bad I hadn't left croutons, bleu cheese and some Ranch dressing for the thief!
THE VARMINT!!!
Fortunately, the tomato plants, the pepper plants, onions (green and red), and other things were intact and growing nicely, so I suppose I should count my lucky stars. It's all part of the risks and perils of back yard gardening.
Still, sorry you siwwy wabbit...I don't care to share! Go eat a dandelion or something, eh?
