Growing, Growing, Gone!

Look at my beautiful square foot garden. Everything is growing pretty well. My tomato plants are rather small, but they are growing. My lettuce and my spinach are doing very well. The carrots and the onions appear to be doing well, too. My cucumber plants are getting bigger, I'm hoping they start to produce soon.

This is a nice close up of my pretty romaine lettuce. It looks like it would make a great salad. Too bad I didn't get to find out. Because I wasn't feeling too well the past couple of days, I didn't pick anything. I did have plans of making a nice salad with it, though.

I went out today to pick some lettuce and spinach to put in a salad for dinner, when I reached my garden I notice the plants looked much smaller than they had yesterday. Something has eaten my nice green veggies. I was a bit disappointed. There was some of the leafy lettuce, but all my spinach and my romaine lettuce had been eaten. Good thing I had picked some of the spinach and put it in my fridge. I'm guessing it was birds, but I'm not real sure. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep them away??
