There are several full bags of recently harvested salad greens in our refrigerator right now. I wouldn’t be surprised, except that I didn’t plant any this fall. I still wouldn’t really be that surprised; after all, many of last year’s greens did go to seed, but there are a few of the chickens that are living in the hoophouse that have been regularly escaping from the area we have sectioned off for them, and they are desperate for greens at the moment. Still, both of those things are inconsequential compared to the issues we have with voles. Voles are rodents that eat greens, and also dig and gnaw on roots and stems.
And yet, somehow, there are still greens to be harvested.
