Welcome to the list. What part of the central valley? There are lots
more of us Californians showing up on the list these days. I am in
Fremont northeast from San Jose a few miles.
I have two anti gopher methods that work pretty well. I line the bottom
of my raised beds with rabbit wire for one. The other is named Zoe. She
is a very hungry kitty that loves to prowl the garden at night. (
Actually I feed her really well, she just enjoys the hunt. My daughter,
on the other hand, gets very upset when she wakes up in the morning to
find a dead gopher in her bedroom that Zoe has proudly presented to
her... :>)))

On this day in:
1629 - a royal charter established the Massachusetts Bay colony.
1794 - Eli Whitney patented his cotton gin, making it possible to clean
50 pounds of cotton a day, compared to a pound a day before Whitney's
invention.
1843 - The City of Boston conducted the first town meeting in Faneuil
Hall on this night. It became an idea that caught on quickly throughout
New England.
And at the top of the charts in:
1957 - Young Love - Tab Hunter
