Remember the perennials I bought for the stone bordered garden bed out back?
.
.
There was a big beautiful purple and white lupine ready to go.
.
.
They’re iconic in Maine and I’ve always loved them.
.
.
But apparently so did the woodchucks.
.
.
Goodbye bloom.
Goodbye leaves.
.
.
This is what’s left of the lupine and what used to be a lovely pink phlox.
Grrr….
😡

River's world..... 
Meh.

It’s always a battle. Some things they eat, others they don’t.

I hope you are planting them anyway. The plant and roots will still be alive, and should grow new flowers again in a while, should they not?

I’m going to give them a little time to reestablish in their pots then plant them.

Dick stopped by again the other day and I asked him about a mysterious pile of dirt next to the house. We’d assumed it was for a planting project he never got around to, but nope.
“Woodchuck,” he said.
Which immediately made me think of you. I’ve never seen a woodchuck before and didn’t know Wisconsin had any.

My advice is to make friends. They’ll still eat some of your flowers but not all…
