Well, I was taking a picture of my stash and all the sudden, I hear a weird noise. A digging noise. A ferrets into dirt and digging noise and I freak out.
MY SEEDLINGS!!!!
Yep. My little peas and spinach and lettuce crops…. gone. Dug up by a pair of little fuzzy woozel ferret rototillers.
I thought, well, I could blow a gasket and squeeze the little varmits and yell and all that, but it’s useless. Ferrets have ignoring down to a science. You think a cat can ignore you, ha! Ferrets are basically uninterested in anything vaguely rule related, they just wanna have fun.
So, camera in hand, I just shot a few pictures, then gathered up the little heathens and popped them back in their cage. They had fineagled themselves out of their cage like the little hardened criminals that they are. We do let them free range at times, but under supervision.
Or else you end up with dirt all over the place!!!
Oh well, my indoor plants were not doing well anyway. I am just giving up on the whole “start seeds inside early” thought process. I just don’t have the room, and I have kitties and ferrets that are just dying to mess with them.
It’s why I’m having two beautiful cold frames made and they are gonna be delivered this week!!! Yah!!!
Can’t wait!

Ugh, what a mess! The last picture of you holding up the ferret is cute though.
Oh NO! I’d be so upset! I start seeds indoors too- I got plexiglass cut to fit to enclose a shelf, so that kitty can’t get to the plants.
