Garden wows and garden woes

Got the balance of my garden planted on Saturday morning. Radishes and lettuce coming up beautifully. All was right in my SFG world!

Went out for a couple of hours in the afternoon with the family and returned to a chewed up red pepper and dug up cucumber and pumpkin seeds. Grrrrrrr! This morning I woke to find a fair bit of my beautiful garden trampled and dug up.

I picked up chicken wire, stakes and netting first thing this morning. I replanted the garden where needed and immediately boxed it in. I expect there will be one (or more) rather ticked off critters. Fingers crossed for a quiet night in the veggie patch!

Bright side of the weekend - Way more sunshine than expected!!!!!

I had the same problem, found out it is a starling plucking my strawberries, eating my lavender and picking and nibbling on my tomato plants. Still need to build 2 more covers, using plastic shopping baskets at night. I think the little monsters do it at dusk and dawn. It is very frustrating.
