Not much will happen under the row covers in my backyard garden this winter. Most of my late August plantings fizzled, for reasons unknown. Not a single spinach seedling survived. What I’m left with is some oakleaf and speckled lettuce, parsley, hakurei turnips, volunteer cilantro, some mustard greens, kale and a couple of collards.
Where was this guy (see below) all summer long when I could have used regular visits by wily carnivores to keep the squirrels out of my tomatoes and up in the trees. I haven’t seen a fox in my backyard for awhile but I know they’re around.
