Carrot Contraband

When I planted my urban farm in my front yard, neighbors looked at me skeptically. People stopped by and inquired on many occasions whether I was worried about intruders getting into my garden and stealing veggies ripe for the picking.

I replied that I didn't really think it would be a problem, but I was willing to take the risk, and to this day I still hold that to be true. Aside from a pesky raccoon who dug up some of my first plantings and a few tell-tale bite marks in melons from another hungry critter, Pocket Square Farm's curbside produce has been pretty much been left alone.

Although, in full disclosure, I must admit that I do have one suspect who has been accused of repeated acts of produce pilfering.

Wanted: Veggie-lovin' vagabond cited for harvesting produce without permission, spoiling her appetite just before the dinner hour, and leaving conspicuous vegetal evidence lying around the house.

There she is! Caught orange-handed!

Well, I guess we'll pardon this one in the name of good nutrition.
