Cayenne to the Resue

No, Cayenne is not a character in a comic book western. At the suggestion of garlic farmer Al Cowan, I put a light sprinkling of cayenne, the spice, on the soil where I planted garlic. We live in the city, and the garlic I planted last week in small pots got dug up by squirrels. So I've re-plannted it, this time with a dash of cayenne in the hope that the odour will keep away urban pests.

The garlic I've got growing at Whole Circle Farm doesn't have this problem.
