OK so he's also eating earthworms but there are plenty to go around :o) I'm actually quite impressed with your humane method of removal! Might have to remember that one.

But seriously, it has slightly curly fur, kind of like a lamb, and those cute digging feet! I love it! Not in my garden, but really, moles are just cute as buttons in my book. If I had it, I would feed it worms and give it a name. Seriously. Kelly will tell you that I talk to the mice in the barn. I love them too. I had to move a nest of baby mice from a bale that Kelly wanted to move, and I put them as close as I could to their original location, and the mom came back and moved them all one at a time. I was mesmerized. sigh.

I have not planted anything so now I feel a tad behind, but the weather here in Ohio has not cooperated quite yet.
