Varmints!

Well, they were bound to show up at some point this year...I just had hoped it would be much later, when the garden was more established.

This innocent Romaine Lettuce plant was attacked in the past couple days by an herbivore, and I suspect it is of the variety that hops around, has two long ears, and likes my delicious lettuce.

We had some sighting of it last year, but that was later in the season when its damage was easily missed. All of my Romaine has been hit.

This varmint shall not go unpunished (Evil laughter).
