Kind of feeling worn out. Last week the raccoons ate my flour corn. This week something ate every pod off my peas and chickpeas. I had been picking the sweet peas as they started drying down, so it wasn’t a total loss on that side. But my poor chickpeas . . . I only have 3 seeds left from that variety! The plants are still green enough they might flower again, but I need to get something up to protect the rest of the garden.

I have never had this kind of a pest problem before. They’re all in an eating frenzy! If it was October this would be normal, they’d be fattening for winter. But this early? I’m afraid of what that might mean.

So sorry to hear about this. So far I’ve been relatively free from problems this year. Knock on wood!
