protecting the little harvest

 For the past month, I've been dealing with a little beastie who keeps digging in the garden. We haven't seen the creature, but on most mornings we can see signs of digging. I tried sprinkling hot sauce around the plants, but the beast kept coming back. We affectionately named it "the diggity beast." Finally I relented and built a little frame and stapled a mesh enclosure around the veggies. The system is lightweight so I can remove it during the day for weeding or harvesting, and replace it during the night to prevent my friend "diggity" from digging up the plants. So far it's been working well.
