Even though the trees haven't leafed out yet,
and the daffodils haven't bloomed yet,
I know it's Spring
because
the stinkin' varmints are running amuck!
They've "burrowed" right over the hose!
And this
because
the stinkin' varmints are running amuck!
Cute, you say?
Ha!
He's harvesting my garlic bed!
Look at my side yard!
And this
is where

Stinkin' varmints!

Holy-Hole In The Ground!
Terry, It May Be War.
It Made Me Laugh Though, The Way you Set It Up.
Wait, what IS that thing? We don't have them here, unless it's a chipmunk and I just can't identify it... we don't see them here either!
Working in the garden again today, look at the blog later to see what I found in the pasture!
Mary Ann, that's a thirteen stripped ground squirrel. The tunnels were probably made by voles. We have lots of both!
Striped, not stripped. Geez.
Oops, Starting to sound like Yosemite Sam or Elmer Fudd. Guess i have been spending too much time with the grand kids watching Teletoons. :-{
YIKES! they are busy little fellows.
They are annoying AND cute :)
Last year we were over-run by moles, they ruined the garden, and left mayhem wherever they travelled. It's so annoying, and worse when you have livestock who could put a hoof in one of those holes !

I hate them, too! They are so destructive.
At our old house they decided to add 'in-tunnel' plumbing - they chewed holes in the irrigation system. I hope they drowned when the water came on... but somehow I doubt it.
First of all, you have had another change in the weather. Your critters are quite artistic...bad news about the garlic.
Do you have gophers too? They are the worst on our garden. They can pull an entire squash plant underground and eat it. It was interesting to see them moving earth on top of your hose. I heard bad weather is spreading across the country. This morning, we have already had rain, hail, snow and winds gusts up to 70 mph. My daffodils are out, blowing in the wind!
Wow, those are industrious little critters. Although, I do think they're kinda cute... but I don't have to deal with them thieving in my garden!
I don't suppose the cats are much help with them?
Jen, my kitties and our little dog Mickey would love to take care of them, but we have so many coyotes I don't let our pets loose. It's a fox-chicken-corn type problem.
Spring is two month late in London this year. We're still waiting for it all to emerge. The missing element is sun, sun, sun and a bit more warmth, please?!
Yikes! I see what you mean Terry! I've heard these critters can cause havoc and it sure looks like they are at your place. Anything short of killing them that could discourage them from eating everything in sight? Good luck!
Hi Terry,
We have the same problem but with rabbits eating EVERYTHING!
Ivan
That sucks!! They look creepy.
You crack me up, Terry! lol ~
although I'm sorry that they get after your garlic!
Too funny!! Well, not really... but you know what I mean. :)
All the critters are adorable. Even the ones wreaking havoc!
