I hope everyone is having a great Earth Day and thinking about how great our little planet is and what they can do to help it out. I just bought some Marcal toilet paper, which is recycled. So far so good. Feels good not to flush trees away.

Meanwhile things are sprouting in our garden. I planted a dwarf apple tree, which the squirrels promptly chewed on. I also planted some seeds, which were dug up by the marauding squirrels. I had to take drastic measures and have now put my plants in jail to protect them. My little apple tree is starting to bud, which makes me hopeful that they will survive the damage. How do you stop these delinquent squirrels? I feel sorry for them in a city like this. They are probably just so excited to find some nice, clean soil that they go nuts. I can hardly blame them, but it still aggravates me that they choose my garden to destroy.

So here are some photos of my prison block garden. You can see some of the chomps on the trunk of the little apple tree. Yes that twig sticking out of the planter is a tree. I swear it.
