Well.......the garden critter dug up most of my small potato bed, so the Mrs and I pulled up the rest and had boiled potatoes and sour cream.

The *&$^%&* dug up a bunch of tomato and spinach plants last week, so I went to the local Dollar Store and bought several 1 bushel laundry baskets. I set them upside down over the plants after putting them back in the dirt. The tomatoes have recovered nicely, the spinach looks iffy. So far, the laundry baskets are doing the job though.

the ducks found a way under the fencing in the hoophouse and seem to like parking under the cauliflower leaves during the day. I was surprised to see a head pop out from under a plant a day ago.

What a good idea. I’m assuming these laudry baskets have multiple holes on the sides, like bars, but what about the top? How do you let the sun it if the tops are solid?

Lots of ducks means fewer bugs.

Ok so you have some good news, and bad news.

Do you have ground hogs in your area?
