What Can We Do About the Moles

See the picture above? I didn't what you to think that I was making up a wild story about hundreds of moles and thousands of mole holes. See them for yourself. There is about half acre of these holes making it difficult to walk without turning an ankle. They ate all my vegetables in my garden last year. Veggies just disappeared like magic. The little beasts just pulled them down into their tunnels--entire beds of onions, radishes and all my root vegetables.

Until I can the entire propery dug up and have chicken wire put down and fresh top soil trucked in I have to grow what I can in containers.

Moles, Bugs, Grubs, Ants and Drought

The grasshoppers along with their friends and relatives ate most of my crops. But still I persevere. What does one have to do to get an eatable tomato? Not merely an eatable fruit but one that is large, firm and juicy and with a flavor so succulent that it will bring back memories of summers long gone. What is it about summer that calls for superb tomatoes? Wonderful flavorfull ones to pluck and devour right off the vine while the sweet tart juice runs down your chin and onto your shirt.
