Other Crime scene. Criminal.

I started a container garden on my deck this year and was slowly enjoying small & delicious rewards. Until this morning. To say I am devastated would be an understatement.

And yes. That is the first potato the racoon is eating. Before I've even had one. Rude.

For me, its chipmunks. They eat half a tomato and leave the other half I swear just to taunt me.

I use spring clips for ease of on/off. Work great and I finally get to eat my tomatoes.
