Some people’s pets…..  :(

We had a huge (for the central valley) thunderstorm last night. I was happy because my plants got LOTS of rain and every little extra bit helps. So the next morning I got up and the first thing I want to do is see how my plants are doing, expecting them to be all perky and happy. Instead I find this…..

All my lovely zucchini plants flattened and ‘nests’ made in my vegetable bed. The destruction was all through the bed, not a single plant left unsquashed.

I try to be a nice neighbor, and those who know me know my version of ‘nice’ is open for discussion. But this is beyond what I am willing to put up with. I went to the neighbor whos dogs are always in my backyard and let him know that his pets will no longer be safe in my backyard. I have a gopher problem now and will be putting out many gopher traps of the vicious two pronged flesh piercing variety.  I would hate to see anything bad happen to them…….

Bottom line, DON’T F*CK with my garden.

    That is terrible news! I feel for you. Zucchini is one of my favorites and it makes me sad to see them destroyed. I would be pissed too. Sounds like you have no choice but to take action to protect against “unwanted visitors” in your garden. Dang!
