Yesterday morning, as I drove to the Bocoup office in Boston, Tara texted me a pair of photos and a single word message:

Fuckkkkk.

We'd really hoped the odiferous garlic clips we used on the trees would be enough to deter animals, but alas, our orchard was under attack! Only two were damaged, and they weren't even badly hurt, but still, there was no way we're going to leave them exposed. I returned from Boston same evening, and the following morning, we spent the day making wire cages for all off the trees.

The process took the entire day, but now our trees are safe… I hope!
