Well they came back with a vengeance on Sunday night. I woke up to this after we had replaced all the impatiens with celoisa, hoping for a fall bloom. don't know whether to replant them or just put down some nice bark nuggets for the winter...

Almost seems like a "rage" killing. Not only did they pull up the celosia to eat the roots, they just pulled both marigolds and celosia just to destroy the flower bed. I don't really think that raccoons feel rage but it sure seems like it at this point. >=-(
