Strawberry Wars

The Casualties of War

Fallen Heroes
Note the specks of red (strawberry blood) that remained even after watering my garden.
My perimeter was invaded and Rabbit Guard was attacked. Not sure what animal did this but it apparently was not put off by my turtle and bunny statues. This garden savage even managed to smear strawberry guts on one of my soldiers.... Oh the indignity of it all.

This brave bunny lost an ear to a hail storm but still continues to serve with valor.

The Battlefield
In addition to my statuary troops, I also employ the use of spare clay and plastic pots to shield as many of my ripening citizens as possible.

Sweet Victory
Although we sustained some losses, we still managed to yield the best harvest ever.

Garden Pest

I found out what's been munching on my flowers and plants in the front yard. On my way to my car this morning, I saw this guy in my Lavender. I had to get a quick photo. At times like this, I wish I had a better camera; one with a macro lens!

If I was not so squeamish, I'd pick him off and stomp him. Instead as I left for work, I put my oldest and baddest boy on that task.

Some things you just have to delegate.......
