Oh the irony

My enviromesh netting and support hoopes arrived on Friday. I set about putting it up around my carrot patch. I placed the hoops at equal intervals and then put the mesh over the hoops. I held the whole lot down with some soil that I excavated when digging out the raised bed. Not pretty but it did the job ;-).

The next day Ames was in the kitchen and saw a fox by the new mesh. I went down there and saw that the fox cubs had taken to using the mesh as a bed. The mesh had been clawed at and the carrots were completely squashed. I have now taken the mesh off because I don't want it to get shredded. So now my carrots are at the mercy of the dreaded carrot fly, and looking very poorly to boot.
