If a Moose eats your Broccoli, she will want the Cabbage too!
If it was moose season and if you were allowed to shoot a female moose, the moose that keeps visiting our garden would be stored in my freezer! Keith had been gone to NCTC for training and I was in charge of guarding the garden. Well you can only guard it so much till they get smart. One brave moose managed to get one broccoli before Daisy started barking like crazy. I then was able to throw logs, rocks and anything I could get my hands on and scare her away, but she came back many times during the night. I stayed up all night defending those veggies. That sneaky moose came in when Daisy and I were tired, and ate all the broccoli and Keith's prize winning cabbage. I was so sad, I called Keith in West Virginia. We were both upset. This is what a Prized Cabbage looks like after attacked.
So my solution was to ask so of the men in our church to help me build a fortress around the plants. This is the results of our hard work. In Galena you use whatever supplies you have on hand.
