Burlap and Pests

Burlap over carrot seedlings aid in germination

On Monday I had a guest blog appearance over at Diggin Foods. Willi was so gracious and kind to allow my vegetable illustrations to grace her page. Yesterday she talked about the benefits of burlap in the garden and it was such appropriate timing as I had just laid down a bit over my carrot seeds to help them germinate (thank you Organic Gardening).  I came home from work to see that my carefully laid out swath of fabric had a wrinkle.  The fuzzy brown pest had made an appearance

. I have a feeling she is going to be a struggle in my garden this year. The past few years my garden beds have been mostly filled with dirt which she loves to roll around in and I am going to have to start thinking about cat-proofing.

    Your furry pest is so darn cute and I love the two recent photos of her happy sleep positions. If only we could all sleep so well!

    The fluffy felines in my neighborood would welcome such a wonderful litter box!!  At least it may appear to be that.  They use my flower bed out front and the soft soil left behind when we had a pile of dirt moved to the back yard to fill a large hole last fall.  Soft soil is a natural attraction to the critters. Good luck with your veggies…looks like you have a wonderful start.
