my ghost pepper was mostly destroyed by the hail, apparently too fragile for the #midwest.

everything else seems fine

i have three tomatoes that are pretty much ready to harvest.  i'm going to wait and harvest them on friday or saturday.


also, there is a rat that is eating bites out of the green tomatoes in the back of the patch.  i have enough tomatoes to share, but i'm still going to try and kill it.

I have a decent green thumb but old Gma gave me a nugget this last weekend. Did you guys know if you mix rock salt sugar water and a dash of garlic your plants will double in size in a few days? I don't have the results yet (did it yesterday) I think maybe Gma had too much wine

my cucumber, zuke, bhut jolokia, and one tomato plants have been ravaged by the storms and are pitiful.

the tomato plant was totally snapped off at the root, but i buried the stem stump and it seems to be slowly coming back to life.

the zuke had all its leaves blasted off but is now popping out a blossom, so not sure how sustainable that is.

that tomato will come back strong as ever.  you'll just have a shorter harvest.

Alright guyz, some pests are absolutely destroying me garden and its driving me ragey. My food garden is in an elevated bed and has chicken wire around it and is doing fine, mainly its my ornamental gardens. I need gE's help to narrow down my list of suspects.

Suspects-

1. Squirrels - These suckers are everywhere just mocking me from the tree's.
2. Chipmunks- I see one of these suckers a couple times a week, very active in my hood.
3. Rabbits - Lady gets so jacked when she walks in the backyard and gets to chase one of these guys. Weirdly I see more chipmunks than rabbits in my yard.

CRIMES-

The pea's I planted along my fence line? About half got chewed down to the base.


I also had some awesome smaller flowers (no idea what the name was) and they were chewed ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ROOTS, luckily they seem to be coming back.



The most annoying crime commited is the constant vandalism of my flower bed. Everyday I come home I will notice 2-3 of these "holes" where some sort of animal has been digging about 1-2 inches into the mulch in my flower bed. This has happened in some ornamental pots I have as well. Just absurd, these animals have no respect for a mans domain.





So tell me gE, which animal is responsible for this damage?

the holes are squirrel.  the chewed plants could be any, but if they are behind secure chickenwire, then it is the squirrels or chipmunks.

Thanks sys, figured the holes were squirrels but have never caught them in action. The chewed plants were not behind the chicken wire so I'm guessing rabbits?


And FYI I just mowed my lawn and stirred up a garter snake that slithered right in front of the mower. I stopped the mower, picked the garter snake up with a stick and moved it to my garden.  :D

Squirrels are pretty great as long as they aren't messing with your house.  One of the most adorbs things you can have in the yard.
