Chesapeake’s Garden Infiltrated

Finnemore Trying to Look Innocent

In  previous post, it was mentioned that Chesapeake dug up a piece of ground for his own garden.  I planted some corn and other items that I thought he would enjoy, then fenced it off with some left over fencing.  I knew the fence wasn’t very strong, but thought that it may give just enough protection to allow the small patch of garden to grow.  I doubted it would survive to full harvest, but I thought perhaps a few weeks.  I was wrong.  I came out to find the garden freshly tilled again, with all of the two to three inch corn gone.  I looked around to see Finnemore over by the tree looking very satisfied.  Poor Chesapeake was in the barn and was completely unaware of the garden breach. 

This is what their little garde is for, so I replanted some corn and squash.  I then made the fence a bit more secure by putting wooden poles around it.  Let’s see how long it lasts…
