Wow, you could do portraits! That is so awesome! You do beautiful work and you are very talented.

No way I could do that with a jigsaw, scrolling or not!!

Thanks for your kind words and feedback. I haven't been very active as of late due to an increase in my chores and the destruction to my flower beds, but I miss you guys. Thank you

You know, it's just too hard to tell from a picture. Send it here and I can evaluate it properly

Very well done

Nice try.

@Baymule @Bruce

Thanks so much. You guys rock. Most credit should go to the person that created the pattern. (Unfortunately I have no idea) I only take credit for the cutting, framing & finishing.

@WantonWoodsman Do I dare ask what happened to the flower beds?

 

[WantonWoodsman]

@babsbag Hi. You may. I have lost 40 plants in the past 3 months. I am trying to save another 40 or so. (90% of their roots/crowns destroyed) Moles have declared war on my flower beds.

I have tried everything I can think of.......except explosives! I have approximately 400 bulbous plants still left in the beds.....don't know where to move them.

 

[babsbag]

Moles. UGH !!! We have ground squirrels here that eat roots of everything and dig holes everywhere and even undermine buildings. I understand war. I hate to resort to poison, (but I have), but have you tried that? I suppose you already tried the wire under the plants?

 

[CntryBoy777]

The only suggestion I can share with ya is to use raised beds with a solid surround, and hardware cloth under it. We have moles and voles really bad here. The cats will dig them out and kill them, but won't eat them. We grow potatoes in tires with the wire under and it keeps them at bay. Tho, with the flowers I would use some 2"x12"s and build some boxes with the wire under the bottom. I hat thos little SOBs.

My Great Pyrenees dogs dog HUGE holes trying to catch moles. Never do find all that dirt.....
