The Winter Garden

Lilly and I finished our planting today. We hope to enjoy Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kale and Swiss Chard. We planted Romaine Lettuce - but you'll have to scroll down to see that. Sal reminds us of a dog. When we go anywhere in the yard he needs to be with us.
Here he comes, looking for trouble!

He was pretty annoying. He tried his hand at digging in our holes, then decided Lilly needed to pet him. He was purring so loud! This is a cat who normally shrinks away when you reach out to him! Not today, he sensed our business and decided now was the time for love!


Here we're planting the very last of the broccoli.

This is what happened to the Romaine. We guess either a gopher or raccoon has eaten it. For some reason they left my Swiss Chard alone. My kids would have done the same.



This is our answer to the night time nibbler (unless of course it's a gopher)! Wade finished the fence that was originally going to keep Frisbee out - we hope it keeps our critter out as well. Lilly thought she was trapped in the garden. We told her she'd have plenty to eat in about 50 days!
