Squirrels Are Vile And Evil And Ate My Lettuce!

When Jeff and I came back from the cottage, I immediately went out back to check on my little garden of vegetables and herbs. They were all thriving, and I was especially pleased by the lettuce. I decided to harvest it this weekend; how wonderful it would be to have a salad made from lettuce I had grown from seed, after all!

Yesterday morning, however, here's what was left:



Jeff thinks it was a rabbit. I, on the other hand, place the blame on the neighbourhood squirrels. I find it hard to believe that a rabbit would venture up on our back deck, manage to maneuver its way around all the other planters without knocking any over, and know to stand up on its hind legs to reach the lettuce leaves in my (purposely) tall planter.

Plus bunnies are cute and SQUIRRELS ARE EVIL.

They only left a few forlorn and wilted leaves that weren't good enough for eating.




They also razed my biggest Thai Basil Plant as well as all my baby carrot plants (see above).

Grrr.



And for those who doubt that squirrels eat lettuce, check out this YouTube video:



Okay, maybe BABY squirrels aren't evil.

Yet.
