Plant Survivors of the Shelley Attack 2K16

My girl Shelley, she loves to eat plants. Any and all. Even rosemary. So I knew I was taking a risk when I started my seeds in the house. I did a half decent job protecting them, for the most part.

We left for a day and when we got home Shelley has finally eaten her weight in seedlings....dammit. I did manage to salvage some, and some were lost. I had about 14 zucchini plants that I had to throw out and I had at least double the seedling pictured here. Pumpkin and spaghetti squash. I have no idea which is which...I'm just happy they aren't all dead and leafless. I did have to replant all my zucchini, thankfully I had an extra package of seeds.

Wish me luck getting these transplanted into my actual garden.

Hunting Toddler

Here you'll see a young Daphne in her natural habitat. 

Stalking her unknowing prey using a classic face down pose and blue/orange plumage.

She approaches the beast slowly using a technique I can only described as "snake like".

Unfortunately the young one will go hungry tonight. She was spotted and her shrieks of glee have startled off the wild Shelley. 

There is always tomorrow, little one.
