First off, did I mention that our Garden Pool has become the Suicide Pool for local small fauna? The count for the last month has been five birds and a squirrel. The pool got drained yesterday and today, needless to say. Now there's just enough water to keep the two-legged tadpoles alive till I can transfer them to a nearby stream.
The pool is possibly going to become a zen garden, though I'm more inclined to just make it another planting bed.
Some kind of animal--my best guess is either squirrels or the local groundhog--has been marauding in *my garden*. I'm betting on the groundhog because the carefully placed cat-hair combings did nothing to save my six newly-planted sunflower seeds or all-but-two of the sunflower seedlings from two weeks ago. Then there's four or five demolished cucumber and nasturtium seedlings.
$%)#$ nature!
The edamame are growing beautifully though; they're nearly a foot high already. I just hope the rain stops soon because now everything could really use some sun (including us humans!)
