War on Gophers

Michal and me admiring our work
Well today was Saturday and a perfect day to spend in the garden. They had it coming, last year we had one gopher in the garden, and that was one to many. When we originally started the garden we dug about 24 inches down and put in chicken wire and thought that was enough to keep the critters out, and what happened is that one or two got through ever year, they get in when they are young and have a feast, and than they can not get out other than in a trap. So it was time to go to a smaller mesh, and today was the day, Michal went and got 100 feet of it and we picked up Alvero and Luis to give as a hand, hard work does not come naturally to me. It took as all of about 3 hours and then we went for lunch at the D Street Bar. Have a rest of the pictures.
