Carrot Problems

I just got home after a weekend trip and found the last container of carrot seeds I had planted had a hole dug in it. It's not that tall, so I'm thinking a squirrel climbed in there. The seeds hadn't sprouted yet, so I'll have to wait till they do to see how much damage was done. Half of the carrot seeds I'd planted in small containers for my mom had met some mysterious demise over the weekend, so I stuck the remaining ones in a large container and also tried thinning out one of my containers and transplanting the ones I pulled out. With such small, delicate root systems, I don't know if any of them will survive. If not, I'll toss some more seeds in there.

I dug up one of the cloves of garlic in my attempt to put it in a larger container. At first I thought all I had was a container of ants, but the clove was down in there, looking pretty much the same as when I stuck it in, only dirtier.
