Life on the Farm

I am furious to say the least. I started planting my seedlings yesterday. I had half of everything planted that I am planting and I went out this morning to turn the heat down under the seedlings and to my surprise the dirt was half way remove almost out of every plug and the seed was gone. Mice had got into the tray during the night and took the seed out and had eaten it. It had never dawned on me that the mice would do that. Years ago I had left some seed out after planting my garden and they ate that seed but I didn't know they would dig in dirt for seed. What is really interesting, I had another seed tray sitting next to this one and I hadn't put seed into it yet and that tray was not disturbed. Can mice smell seed? Who knows. The mice are history now, the Decon will be going out today. I had not put out Decon because I was concerned that one of my cats would slip in the building and get a mouse that had eaten the Decon but I will have to be careful with my cats because the Decon is going out!


There were eight different varieties in those plantings. I guess I'm going to have to decide now what I want to reorder.

Well, I've vented now so I'll go on with my day.
