Alyssum Revisited

Last year the alyssum didn't flourish until the fox ate the chickens, who kept scratching them up. Since we have only one hen left, I thought they'd have a better chance this year, but Cocoa was digging around in them almost as soon as G put them in. It's going to be the same battle -- keeping the ground moist enough to make it uninteresting to critters, but not too wet to inhibit growth.
