first salvo
stolen victory –
bright leaves, unfurling, vanished
some battles we lose…
(My beautiful plant is gone – thanks, gopher.
“Now, we don’t want to kill him, just discourage him,” the neighbor called over the fence. “We’re pouring Pine Sol down into his hole.” Er, …okay? This certainly will do something, likely to the groundwater, but to the gopher snacking its way through our plants? Not much. However, we have four crows watching the ground closely, and we’ve heard an owl… we figure something will serve justice eventually. Meanwhile, more seeds…)
sorry for your loss! I hope all is going well for you otherwise.
Agh~the little bugger.
Um, wouldn’t Pine Sol kill something that small? Let’s hope the circle of life will help your garden…
