Nightly Visitor

As you know, Erik has worked long & hard on creating his garden on our back porch. He has a ton of stuff growing from herbs, to lettuce, brussel sprouts, tomatoes, lemons, hops, and more.

One crop that is really flourishing is the strawberry plant...






We think the strawberries are doing so well is because it is in a hanging plant and nothing can get to it. We seem to have a nightly visitor who is feasting on the other crops...


Yes, we have a mouse or a little rat that is eating the plants. And, we have seen him. He is gray & unfortunately cute but he is eating for free & gobbling up Erik's hard work. He has literally eaten everything out there:

Goodbye Brussel Sprouts








Sad! I think Erik is going to move the herbs to the window where no one can reach and then plant pepper plants or something, that we know the Mouse/Rat won't touch.

I guess that is city gardening for you! Maybe we should send him across the street to help the chef's cook at the restaurant.
