Hi Sherry,
I'm not sure if you mean gophers to be what we call here -"groundhogs" -the big burly fur balls that chew down anything in sight...I've had a bit of trouble with groundhogs which is an understatement. That little stinker ate a lot of nice plants last year and sadly enough chewed the asclepias incarnata like it was a blade of grass. Not sure if they do the same in your part of the country.

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
