The Garden

The garden is coming along, except for the raids by varmints. One morning there was lettuce, looking good and about ready for the first harvest. A few hours later it had been chewed to the ground. It's coming up again, but one has to wonder if she's ever going to get any. We put up a motion sensor controlled sprinkler that was advertised to keep away anything that moved. It's pretty good at getting the neighbour mowing his lawn, but the garden raiding critters seem to have found ways to get around it. Mesh over the rows seems to work somewhat, but when the plants get big enough that we have to take it away, boom, varmints are there immediately. I guess a fence will be the next thing to try. All of which makes it difficult for us to get into the garden ourselves. But there must be a way to do this. People do grow gardens.
