And What ISN'T Growing in the Garden

Like I said in my post about trapping the groundhog, Mother Nature has lots more critters.

And they're eating what the groundhog didn't. First pic is of freshly nibbled peppers. We had one plant, which was nibbled a while back. So we bought 2 more, and then all 3 were looking great. Until now.

Second pic is of our evening primrose, nibbled down to the stems. We've grown these before and never had a problem with them being eaten.

Could be hornworms, deer, maybe geese or squirrels. The primrose is out back and fair game for anything, but the peppers are up on the desk railing--so either squirrels or the hookworm.

On the positive, our squash, arugula, parsley and tomatoes seem to be doing fine.
