The Gopher Buzz

JUST A QUICK NOTE ON THE GOPHER WARS....
Happily they have moved from the garden.
My defenses have not won the war, but the enemy has retreated to other parts of our yard.
Not what I had hoped for, but one I can live with.
The stuff that smells like garlic and caster oil has been applied 3 times, and just for good measure we have added an additional chatter thingy to beef up the noise. My collateral damage has been small, two thyme plants and surprisingly my chive plants. AND... I don't have a problem with rabbits...unlike my frustrated neighbor that lost all her zucchinis!
Honestly .... a GOPHER with onion breath??
