It sure has has taken some effort to get here! I can report that my greenhouse garden is keeping me in salads for most of the week, I'm picking swiss chard, and my garden soil is very lofty and in wonderful shape. We had a very snowy and wet winter, this years vegetable garden should be really good. For lunch I'm having fresh lettuce on a whole wheat tortilla, with cheddar cheese and white fish, quite tasty.

Hey Astrid!  It's finally getting warm here and I'm deciding theis week what herbs to plant next week.   Your lunch sounds good!

But, but, it's SUPPOSED to taste like that!

Lunch was good...then I came home from my stint at the hospital Front Desk to find that a small herd, at least, of javalinas (wild hairy pigs) had broken in to my greenhouse and garden area. It was covered with snow when I left this morning, just as the snow started coming down.

The garden is surrounded by an 8ft. high fence, but the pigs somehow figured they could bust in through a solid plastic greenhouse frame( without breaking it, thank goodness) and they had eaten all the tops off my mixed winter lettuce  and garden plants, which I have been enjoying  very much. They dug around in a lot of stuff in the garden too. Most of it will probably grow back, the roots were not pulled out of the ground but the foliage looks awful. I raked it over and added water.

Humph.

Rampaging pigs, wow.  That really puts my squirrel "problem" in perspective.

Wow!  Never again will I complain about the cats digging and going in newly planted flower beds.  :)

These are feral pigs?  We have them here, but they are in more rural areas.

I just GOTTA ask.  Are these YOUR pigs?  Are these someone else's pigs?  Are these wild pigs?
