I have them planted together in my hydroponic pots. So to crawl through the tomatoes they also have to crawl through the habaneros. With any luck, they will feel the effects right away and decide that this is not a place they ever want to be. That, or when they do feel the effects later it’s so bad that they put their little tree rat pistol in their little tree rat mouth and blow the back of their little tree rat head off. At this point, I’m good either way.
What a great idea. I think next year we’ll plant habaneros with the corn and tomatoes. Squirels and racoons..seem to know when these are ready to pick.
