Leaving tomorrow for 4 days of art and food with Mom in Boston. Out to the garden at 6 or so for a good soaking of the new wildflower beds and I notice one box of peas hasn’t come up. Strange, because I’d already counted over two dozen up an inch+ in each of the other two. Strange. I finish watering and check the other two beds with said peas and NONE were there. Just a few green wisps and strange holes in exactly the pattern I’d planted. Something had gotten in and dug/pulled out every one of those plants. A new varmint in town!!! I think I’m going to have to plant all over again – one month delay on pea crop – and hire this guy:
he can get the job done, can’t he? yikes! it’s always a new challenge out here. And i LOVE my peas! All suggestions welcome. Will plant again when I return and cover those puppies up and hope for the best.
Back after Beantown…
