Greg and Julia,
Am glad your yards have been spared any major theft. Since I've been in Oregon I haven't lost anything either and in MS I had a TALL FENCE around the garden. You couldn't tell I had anything of interest in there until the gate was opened. Here in Oregon I'm fairly far out in the country and the property 's access is limited from the road.
Still, I'm always glad when I give my plants to Toby for safe-keeping. One deer hoof could completely obliterate a semp so there is more danger than just a thief!
