Crows and Moles -vs- My Garden

The crows and I are having a little disagreement. They want to eat from the garden, and I want to eat from the garden. So far they are winning. The bush beans, of which I had 6 plants, I know have 1 plant. The moles come by every so often to let me know they are still around and the seedlings get shifted all over the place. And of course lets not forget the squirrels. Now the squirrels I don't mind. There feeder is by the garden. And I have sunflowers coming up all over. There small plants when they do come up, and the flowers are pretty so I guess I am not to bothered by that. But the crows and the moles have got to go. According to my dad I have so many crows in my neighborhood they could start there own city. A friend of my parents shot a crow and hung in on a pole to keep the other crows out of his garden. It works, but I am sure that shooting a crow in the city limits is frowned upon. So I wont be doing that. And also, from what I was told, crows are very family oriented and they mourned the lose of the dead crow. Loudly. Zoe is suppose to be coming to visit for a few days so her and I will be making a scare crow. My mom says those things don't really work, but we shall see. It will be fun to do anyway.

Now the moles are another story. I guess I will just let him stay. And the crows too. We all need to eat, and I guess I can share.

The fence my dad put around the area is working great for keeping the four legged ones out of there. Miley hates it when the butterflies go in there and she cant get them. Oh yah, she either got stung or bit by something the other day. Her lip swelled up and she looked lopsided. I called my vet, CamasWashougal Animal Hospital, and they said to give her a 1/2 a benedril. The swelling was gone within an hour. And she took a really nice nap as a bouns. I kept telling her, but just like a kid, do they ever listen?

That is a really cute picture of Miley! Making a scare crow sounds like lots of fun. I bet Zoe will have a blast.
