You have to look at the sign carefully but it is a picture of a gopher stealing a flower from below ground. We have lost all of our brussel sprouts (since these pictures were taken) most of our lettuce, several carrots. Oh and all my peas in persuit of him. You will see Ian sticking a flair into the ground. Pea roots don't like super hot soil. Imagine that. Teagan took the time to go inside and make this sign to keep the gopher away.
We posted the sign and it was ignored. Can't we now take some sort of legal action?
He did leave us some carrots. Something I'm going to plant more of next year. Even without a gopher munching them we need more.
Teagan is his overalls. This is his gopher hunting gear.
Ian just about to kill my peas. Frankly he could have killed the whole garden and I would have forgiven him if it meant the gopher died.
Don't they look sweet working together?
Teagan takes a break to play with Raider.
Jade takes a break to get a drink. This same day we moved the chickens from the little coop to the big one. Ian wanted to grab them but with the help of the kids and I they got to walk in on their own. I provided a trail of grapes. The kids stood between the garden boxes and Ian wrangled the straglers. Teagan proved to be a very good chicken wrangler too. Ian was very proud of him. It was a good day outdoors but unfortunately the gopher still lives.
