Here in Texas it was the rainiest September in history. The ground finally dried enough to plant seeds. Got the seeds planted the second week in October. It was a perfect time as a cold front dropped the temperatures to exactly right. The seeds germinated in 5 days, about 1200 of them and what happens immediately? Yep, more rain. It rained every day, all day for over a week. I couldn't get to the garden and it was so muddy I couldn't have done anything anyway so I just thought "don't complain about the rain" and placed it in the back of my mind. I finally was able to get into the garden 4 days ago and what did I see? Nothing, absolutely nothing. No Swiss Chard, no spinach and not a beet to be found. It took about 3 seconds to figure out what happened. This did. Anyone care to guess what it is? Here's a hint. It marched through my garden and ate everything.
