The Voles Must Go!

Just a short and depressing update to my last post. The Voles found my Swedish Fingerling potatoes. I harvested less than a pound from my original ten plants. I probably should have gotten at least four pounds per plant. They have also found my beets, and even damaged a pepper plant to the point that it probably won't survive. I am beginning to think that maybe poison is the way to go. I'll just tell the neighbor what I'm planning on doing and they can either ask me not to, or they can keep kitty away from my yard for a couple of weeks. Something has to be done. Once the voles are gone from the garden, then I can work on keeping them from coming back by using hardware cloth and such.

I hate mieces to pieces!
