Something out there likes cole crops as much as I do. I go out and find that they’ve all been gnawed to the stem, if not to the ground. Broccoli? Kaput. Kale? Gone. Collards? Well, the ones that were protected by wall-o-waters are doing just fine. The ones that were protected just by 8″ open-topped wire cages, though, haven’t fared so well; they get chomped as soon as they stick a leaf over the top of the cage. Damn you, varmints! So much for my plans for homegrown gumbo. I’m considering some plans for Varmint Stew, though, I can tell you. Grr.

The garden at home has pretty much gone to hell lately. It’s all overgrown with weeds. And I seem to have sprained my hip somewhat in yoga, so it’s going to stay overgrown for a while. Maybe I’ll get it together in time for fall planting. That’s coming up fast.
