Breakfast anyone? I love fresh fruit for breakfast and this time of year it is so easy to just walk outside to see what is available. Sometimes I feel like a little spider monkey, searching under the fig tree for ripe ones. These two wound up in a bowl with a little cream.
Gohhers are one reason I do allot of container gardening! Even vegetables. And a few years back, I bought six used apple bins from one of the big orchards around here. I lined the bottoms with aviary netting. Which has a much tighter weave than chicken wire. The gophers can squeeze through that. Found that out when I also found out they will even eat onions and leeks! Now, with the huge apple bins, I have "raised" beds tall enough to garden in without bending over so much. Filling them was a booger though!
