I just had a short time in my garden this weekend, as I haven't been feeling great. It's been totally neglected these past couple of years as I worked way more over the COVID years as a nanny suddenly managing schooling at home and cancelled summer camps. So I'm slowly trying to reclaim the garden from the weeds and moles.

Brought my kitty out on a leash with me for the first time as I'm hoping to encourage the moles to move elsewhere in a humane way. The cat is a coward who would be too afraid to touch one, but hopefully the smell of a predator will be sufficient. I could let the dog in as she's got a strong prey drive and has eliminated the rodents from the rest of our yard, but A) I don't like animals dying on my watch, and B) the dog would absolutely tear up and/or eat the few veggies and fruit bushes I've cleared room for.
