Your crop looks wonderful. Unfortunately my tomato plants looked awful until now!. Somehow they came back to life and delivering beautifully.

Everyone please advise me on what to do with a vole. I put some coneflowers in the perennial garden a few weeks ago and they were gone in two days. I fear for the rest of the garden.
What to do about a vole?

Do it fast-I have heard that one pregnant female can have 100 over a years timee. Gestation only takes 3 weeks, and they are able to have others in a month.

I don’t know much about them we don’t have any. Here’s a link for starters:

I can't say for sure if it would work for voles, but I put dried blood down to keep Mr. Bunny out of my garden and that worked quite well. I just found something tunneling in one of the beds and tried putting some down the holes I found. Doesn't look like there's been anymore activity in that area. The dried look came from a company called Espoma which produces a variety of organic plant food and supplements. I used their tomatotone for the tomatoes and it seemed to work. (I have no interest in this company outside of having had luck with some of their products )
