A Mouse in the Pantry Garden

When we bought our house 11 months ago, there was a large dying lawn in the front yard and a weed wasteland over old lawn in the back.  Instead of watering, we sheet mulched and planted water wise, edibles, and natives.   Our front yard has fruit trees, tomatoes and heirloom pumpkins.  Our backyard is a year round producer with four large garden beds growing winter greens, beets, cauliflower, tomatoes, corn, peas, beans, more squash and chickens too!
