Salomon Farm is a city park near my house which, among other things, boasts a large organic garden. A good portion of this garden is completely unfenced. WTH? I fend off rabbits that girdle shrubs and trees, woodchucks that destroy sweet potato plants, tomato-sampling gophers, voles that wipe out seed potato plantings, pea-eating sparrows, strawberry-stealing robins, etc. Salomon Farm is a working 1930's farm, so maybe I need to replace my lawn with field corn and soybeans to lure the critters away from the garden.

I hope Finn was successful--there is NOTHING I so want to kill as voles. Everyone else in our subdivision has tulips, but the nasty little voles ate all of mine. There must be a rodent billboard somewhere rating gardens. "Best food found here!"
