Last year, her handy man accidentally cut down the whole patch. Down to the nubs. Needless to say, the unhandy man still gets a wee bit of stink eye. But, we'll still have plenty of raspberries.Sharon Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683868787160249441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-49299177624838854682016-06-15T07:01:39.120-07:002016-06-15T07:01:39.120-07:00It's one thing to have critters stealing food ...It's one thing to have critters stealing food from a garden--one can fully understand that. But to have a thieving human being--well, that's awful. I can't blame Rob for being upset--but after he calmed down he removed the signs. I'm so glad. Sadly--carrying around all that frustration and anger only hurts the carrier. The thief probably feels no guilt at all. But I truly do believe they will get theirs in the end because what you put out to the universe comes back to you--and so I'm glad that Rob took down the signs. Good for him!<br /><br />Your broccoli looks great! That would be so cool to have it growing almost year round. Sounds like you might even be able to share a few raspberries with Rob this year. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-75467411185580441032016-06-15T06:58:52.061-07:002016-06-15T06:58:52.061-07:00A raspberry thief!

Otherwise, he's a thief! Yes, this is a little thing, but still - who would do that? I'm protective of my gardens and sometimes have to say something to people who let their dogs run loose to play havoc on my plants. I love dogs, but I also work hard in the gardens and don't want the plants broken. Of course, when the moose or fox travel through, I hold my breath and hope everything isn't stomped! Your broccoli looks great.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.com
