I have lost count of how many times I have sowed (sowed... sown.... it's one of those words that never looks right) peas. In the ground and in starting pots. I had one germinate directly sowed and lots of little holes where my little friend dug them up. After those incedents I decided to "get smart" and start the peas in small pots. WELL...... I wasn't the only one getting smart it appears. My little friend made the brilliant leap and found the pots and dug those peas up as well! Oh snap! What the heck???? I think we played that game 4 times (the pot game that is). When will I learn? So the last time I felt reasonably human (Sunday I think), I depotted the seedlings and planted them in the ground, then we covered the starter pots with a plastic container to keep him out. It has appeared to work, but I guess time will tell.
I think he got mad at the covered pots and took it out on the seedlings.
They were chewed down to the nubs. Argggg......
I didn't get these pots covered up and he dug and dug until I guess he figured out that they were empty of peas. I was too wiped out to re-plant and he didn't get any yummies. All of the ones I did get covered up seemed to fair pretty well though.
He even ate my beet seedling!
The Hubs and I noticed some odd pellet looking things in the yard lately... kind of like rabbit poops.... and later that night we saw a bunny in the yard. Darn it! Our pesky critter is a bunny rabbit???? Now how can I be all gung ho about eradicating a bunny????? ERG. Now I have to find friendly bunny deterents.
"sowed... sown.... it's one of those words that never looks right" Try planted LOL
ReplyDeleteI have the battle of the bunnies when I'm in AZ, but my 3' high plastic fencing seems to work fine to keep them at bay. I did find one trying to tunnel under, but I kept stepping on and collapsing his tunnel and he finally gave up.
I like it! When in doubt, work around it ;) Planted it is.... now I just have to remember that.
