An outdoor garden scene in the daylight where root vegetables such as carrots, turnips, and radishes are growing. The soil shows signs of small barricades made of chicken wire surrounded the vegetable patches as a deterrent against gophers. Some hand-drawn signs depict prohibitive symbols, warning the gophers away. Several gophers can be seen at the edge of the garden, looking intrigued but unable to access the vegetables due to the barriers. Just beyond the garden, natural habitats like bushes and small trees are visible, offering an alternate home to the gophers.
