Garden update update

Harper and Gromit report that a Masked Intruder entered the garden early Monday morning and cruelly snatched the top 12 inches off of the coreopsises (coreopses?) in the back bed.

They further report that they valiantly attempted to defend the yard, accidentally digging up some of the dahlias in the process. They were at last able to chase off the intruder who left behind the severed remains of the assaulted plants.

They are very sorry about that.
