Joey inspired me to try my hands at a small little vegetable garden. It seemed easy enough, you buy a few seeds, put them in some potting soil, give it some water, and hopefully in a few weeks you see results. So I went to Lowes and bought myself a packet of cilantro seeds and habanera pepper seeds. I got my potting soil laid out in my pots, and planted my seeds and watered them. I was very pleased with myself and excited at the prospect of being a father to some vegetables. Well not 1 hour later I come out to check on some things in the backyard and notice my pots and dirt that I so neatly tended to was all dug up and scattered everywhere. My heart sank, I never felt so violated. The chupacobra! I thought to myself, or maybe it was a bird? Well I did the best I could to repair the damage and hope that maybe some seeds were missed and still had a chance.

This morning I saw the little nard sneak his way up from the side of the house like a seed stealing ninja, he leapt from the bench to the steps, and then leapt and sat on my pot, licking his lips and filthy paws ready to dig into my cilantro seeds. I ran for the back door screaming the craziest nonsense I could think of to scare him off. He ran like a sissy nard up the tree where he belongs.

For now I have setup Scarecrow Scooter to help ward off the seed stealing beast, but I have a feeling it won’t last very long. This Zenful activity has turned into a very stressful one. I don’t needs stress right now.
