Stepped on by a Raccoon

Seedling
Crushed flat by a paw
The finest fertilizer
Still won't make you grow

I woke up this morning, and discovered deer had raided my garden, ate all the heads off my sunflowers and broccoli, and a raccoon, by the paw print, crushed one of my two remaining basil seedlings. LOL! I give up. I'll just write and buy my vegetables instead.
