Left for 3 strange days. During our absence, the pest problem evidence mounted. This time, in the greenhouse. Before we left, I was pretty pleased that I was able to carve out the time to plant a flat of snow pea seeds amidst plenty of chaos..

Before coming inside or having dinner, I took the first 30 minutes to take care of responsibilities immediately upon our return while Andreas unloaded the car. Chicken coops cleaned, eggs collected and washed, greenhouse plants watered.
What I discovered in the greenhouse was a disappointment. "Someone" (a mouse or rat) had slipped in through the door, which we had purposefully left cracked open for ventilation.

| This is spinach, with holes from the digging... |
Even though these seeds are small and have less food value, they are still apparently worth the effort?

Sigh. The flats of peas have been molested, seeds picked out, munched and scattered.

| Replanting... |
The flats are now replanted and resituated. Since I couldn't cover them, i at least put them higher up. they will be more difficult for the little rodents to access. We have also beefed up the arsenal of poison and traps. let's see what happens...
