A little bunny ate our cilantro plants and the gophers are eating everything. The $12.99 plastic bobble-head owl has done little. Sometimes I think I can hear the critters laughing at it.

Here's what the critters didn't get however. From our bushes and trees.

The strawberries are...unreal. The blueberries make you pucker with a smile. The plums are not quite ready to sckloosh into. But they needed pickin' as you can plainly see:

Everything we grow is organic and never sprayed with anything.

Love and rain and the eatin's good! You can do it too! You'd be surprised how little land you need. And, if you're a citydweller, buy organic local for the same benefit.
