Today was full of great surprises. I discovered an area in the patch where a stray cat had decided to repeatedly use as a litter box. It was about two feet away from the Dill's stump, but utterly hidden by the leaf canopy. Just three feet from that, I discovered a new mole hill. I thought 'hey, I'm prepared this time!' but I was wrong. Upon probing, I realized I had no way of knowing when I was punching into the last mole's tunnels or the current mole's. In fact, I couldn't even figure out which run terminated in the new hill. Furthermore, every probe with the stick was met with several sickening snaps and pops as roots were severed. Honestly, I'd be substantially more disheartened by this if both plants were growing like they were two weeks ago, but as it stands, the mole's probably getting more out of that soil than my plants are. In the meantime, I'm really enjoying Dolly's progress on Mark's diary!
