Now I understand why we plant back-ups......for those unknown events that can happen. It's Murphy's Law. I knew there was a mole(s) digging around this patch about a month ago and I thought I got it with the poison pellets, but nope...lol. It (or they) managed to avoid them. It was as though it (the mole) was waiting for me to plant the 1634 Werner. A few days after........two mole hills inside the cold frame. (What luck, eh?)
So I went to plan b....use cinch traps. And the next day 6ft away from the plant.....the mole met my best friend Mr. Cinch Trap......SNAP! Gotcha....!!
As for the plant, I figured it was a good time to go to the back up.....And a good back up it is.....the 1794 Pugh 2011. There wasn't much of a root system left on the 1634. I excavated and probed to see where the mole tunnel was running and the 1634 Werner was in the center of the this varmits tunnel. (I left the mole in the tunnel for fertilizer)
