![]() ![]() It reminded me of a small, but fun experience for my 3- and 4-year-olds last summer. A few weeks ago you wrote about some seeds that are fun for children to start indoors. Try asking your wife to mix the two - some folks like the mixture better than either one alone. It does have a different flavor and slightly different texture. Cos (Romaine) has more calcium and more vitamins (I've read up to 10 times more) than regular head or leaf lettuce. Is Cos Lettuce really healthier food than regular head lettuce? My wife insists on using it for salad, but I like regular lettuce better. Catch them anytime they are active with special mole traps, available at a garden center. Moles do not construct new tunnels when the ground is frozen, but, rather, hibernate during winter in dens 3 to 5 feet below ground. Moles construct a true tunnel just under the soil surface, but close enough to the surface that the entire surface is pushed up, making the location of the tunnel clearly visible. Both of these are best controlled using a common mouse trap. ![]() These holes are about an inch for the voles, a bit larger (2 inches) for the shrews. ![]() Both also tunnel underground leaving a round, open entrance. The runways differ in that voles will collect these grass clippings in loose balls occasionally along these runways. Voles and shrews both eat grass plant crowns (at the soil surface) as a primary winter food source, resulting in the ``tunnel'' runway appearance. My dad says ``none of the above,'' that it's a vole. My wife says she thinks it's a shrew, or something, while my neighbor says it's probably a mole. They must be eating grass because where the tunnel is, the grass is eaten off right to the ground. We have some small animal making tunnels under the snow. ![]()
