Winter gardening....

Without the dogs, we get critters in our garden....and one of them tore it up.  It was so sad.  Our beautiful lettuces were all uprooted and tossed aside.  Not eaten, just stomped and flung about.   I salvaged some of the lettuce...but ALL the seedlings were destroyed.  The herbs weren't happy there anyway so being stomped just sealed their fate to be moved! 

Dean and I cleaned everything up.  Then we replanted the salvaged lettuce in two boxes and resowed arugula, lettuce and broccoli in the last two boxes.   

Isn't that man of mine clever?  He made a little wire top to keep critters at bay while the seeds germinate and get some size to them.....




the best part is the lids lift so I can weed and harvest the goodies.   That oughta keep critters out!



Now we just the weather to cooperate!
