Ya wanna know something weird?

Out of pure frustration, I dumped some hot coals into a gopher hole a few years ago. I was grilling that day and I wanted to get the coals out of the grill so I could put the grill away. I dumped them into the gopher's holes I knew of. It must have really ticked the animal off, because I have not had the problem since.
I don't know if it was the hot coals the gopher would have tried to dig up, or if it was all the dust cold coals produce. Either way, No more gopher.

Here's a web site I came across when looking at your problem.

I've just been cruising today reading various postings and checking out photos of peoples gardens!! I injured my foot and don't want to walk on it, so laptop in bed is perfect today. As I was checking out your before and after pics, I noticed you also had artichokes, were they difficult to grow :?: and could you give me some tips. :?: Time to plant, etc. I live in Zone 10, a couple blocks from the beach (salt air, etc). Because I live on the "desert" side of the island, we don't get much rain, and probably the lowest evening temperatures during our "winter" is about 70F. Thanks for any comments. and again, BEAUTIFUL JOB. you should be proud, I know I would. :D
A hui hou!

You may want to look at Eliot Coleman's excellent book, Four-Season Harvest, for assistance in growing food throughout the year in New England. He lives, gardens, and writes (according to the flyleaf) in Maine, so his advice will be quite relevant to New Hampshire.

Good luck with the artichokes; ProducePete was growing them (is growing them?) in coastal central California, where they can become a perennial. Artichokes are native to the Mediterranean coast and seem to like coastal central California. Castroville, CA, is "The Artichoke Capital of the World," to judge from the billboard visible when driving into town on Hwy. 168.
