At the end of last summer, I noticed that an animal was eating some of my potted flowers. I thought it was a chipmunk so decided to plant only deck-rail planters this year. All was going well and the plants were doing terrifically until last week. Almost overnight a couple of pots were decimated! Thankfully, we have some trail cameras and so we decided to set up a stake-out. We didn't have to wait long to find the culprit. A bushy-tailed woodrat! They are sometimes called "pack rats" because they are known to steal items to put in their dens. This one just likes my flowers, though. Now we bring in the flowers at night and hopefully she'll find something else to eat.
