RE: A “MASTER GARDENER?” – NOT SOME YEARS!

Looks better than my garden.

The bushy tailed rodents and the long eared rodents have really done a number. They must be starving.

Had corn, 5 feet tall just starting to put on ears, and the rodents ate through the stocks to get at the tiny fruits.

Got lots of tomatoe and tomatillo plants, but the creatures eat every fruit, while they are green and small.

Out here in the dessert, whatever I grow must be like a 5 course meal compared to the peas porridge they usually eat.

Maybe I will find some bird wire to build a cage, sorta like a green house, but without the glass.

Sort:  

Maybe switch to eating the rodents this year and then garden again next year.

Actually lol-ed at the thought of this. Hah! Fresh rodents for breakfast lunch and dinner!

I basically have a squirrel city in my yard that would devour all things edible or not. I built 2 raised beds that are covered up with chicken wire- one is like a coffin and the other is like a cage (sounds grim I know) but I have not had a single loss since switching to these beds.

Yep, that's the plan, just need more wire.
