The beginnings look great. We finally put in a little 8'x14' garden spot in our yard after 10 years of watching to see where the shaddows from the trees let the sunlight through the most. Who knows how things will grow but it is fun none-the-less. There's just something so good about planting and growing and harvesting.

We do have traps in there, full of peanut butter. And I know they work, because I tried to move one and it snapped on the cord I was poking it with! <br /><br />So we'll keep the traps set. And wish upon a star that the mice stay out of the tubs. There is nothing smelly in the tubs so that might help... hmmm...might have to go and google this one for some more solutions. It's just so nice to have doubled our storage space!<br /><br />Thanks Nancy!Becca Groveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536736882610427204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717948968241596244.post-44023097329662422382013-05-31T15:45:38.155-05:002013-05-31T15:45:38.155-05:00Um, I hate to be a kill joy but I've seen mice...Um, I hate to be a kill joy but I've seen mice eat through plastic containers (though it probably does slow them down a bit.) Might I suggest you also put some mouse traps up in that crawl space - and check them regularly. :) Once a friend of mine told me that mice ate the Christmas decorations in her garage (she lived in California - they were probably in cardboard boxes.) The next time she told me about it (because we all repeat ourselves) she said a rat ate her Christmas decorations. I asked her if it was a rat or a mouse and she said, "I don't know, what's the difference?" I informed her that rats were much larger than mice to which she replied, "Well, if it was a mouse when it got started, it was a rat when it finished." Still cracks me up! Anyway, your garden looks lovely and I can't wait to see Elsie toddle. :)Nancy Holtehttp://www.nancyholte.com/noreply@blogger.com
