Battle of Trafalgar



My garden is small, but I’m rather proud of it. At the moment I’m growing spearmint, beets, parsley, broccoli, dill, tomatoes, onions, garlic, rosemary, peppers, catnip, and thyme. I know it’s too early in the season to declare it a success. The birds and slugs and snails haven’t had time to know I’ve even planted a garden. We’ve only had a few warm sunny days so far, but before you know it the plants I’ve been nurturing will start to look as if someone has been playing with a magnifying glass. Still, right now everything in my garden seems to be thriving. Well, almost everything. On closer inspection I find that something has definitely been munching on the leaves in one section. I’m not reaching for a pesticide, though. I don't think I can blame bugs for my mangled catnip.
