See all these lovely, hopeful bok choy sprouts? They’re so pretty. I admired them. I watered them. I dreamed of bok choy, stir fried into our favourite Thai curry dish. They are now gone. Just “pfft” and they have disappeared. From a pot on my deck.

I bet they can – and if not the birds, then the squirrels (don’t ask me about the squirrels).
Katie: I’ve had horrible luck with squirrels in other years, in Toronto. Here it’s gotta be the birds. Fortunately I have some more bok choy seeds I will start again.
