coming soon to a grocery store near you

stay away from my garden!!!

for the first time in the six years we have lived in our home the grackles are out in force. some people may like this bird since it has a very cool metallic purple head.

i don't like them.

i planted lettuce in my garden about three weeks ago and had two very nice rows of little plants coming up. to date i now have about four little leaves of lettuce. i don't really have any proof that these pesky birds are the culprits, but from past experience i would guess they are to blame.

the only reason that i have any lettuce at all is due to the fact that i put a milk jug on top of my remaining plants. time will tell who will win this battle, but i do have the upper hand.

a bb-gun.
