The basil is booming. It’s way overdue for being transplanted. I am giddy at the thought of pesto all summer long (especially since the cheap basil at the farmer’s market has gone up in price a dollar and is no longer cheap).

But the spinach? How poorly it’s doing! I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it.

So this weekend I got down on my knees and looked at it carefully.

What is this?

And this??

Who has been eating my spinach?!?

I don’t happen to have a rabbit in the house, so that only leaves one culprit.

I wanted that spinach! Not that she cares.
