Ooh, it looks like a LOT of work for you, Dirt! Tell me you really like snow and that it's not possible to have too much of a good thing...
Hang in there you guys and keep warm.
Chris, I think the critter is either a mouse or chipmunk. If squirrel, I think the semps would be pulled up for tasting. The pattern of damage is something that is standing there munching thru the center of the rosettes...Argh!...why couldn't they eat the outer leaves instead so the semps can still grow????? Their tiny brains not in sync with my small brain...
