Dicot oh me!
Vince,
Thanks for the good advice!
I enjoyed your mole story. In 02, our first year planting in the vineyard,
Ray brought his new tiller over. He would till the south patch and his
friend John would till the north. John and I suggested that Ray drag a
carrot behind the tiller to troll for gophers, and away he went. Suddenly a
shout rang out. Ray had just nailed not a gopher but a mole.
More than one way, it seems.
Gotta go
to plant two seedlings with plug-ugly dicots.
