Put out a lot of seedlings yesterday. Along with slug pellets and cutworm collars.
Inside the fence, and still used deer repellent.
The only thing I have been able to harvest in the last few years is pole beans which do very well, and peaches. Not even tomatoes!
This year I planted Tromboncino and Tetsukobuto squash, which are supposed to resist vine borers. Last year the cutworms got them first.
One little hope, the cat has discovered the catnip near the raspberry bushes. So maybe she will scare the birds away. Or maybe they will look at her rolling and rubbing in the catnip and say, ah, it’s just a stoner cat. Have some berries.
I will now go count my seedlings. The slugs have got two of thirty beans already, and I thought they were good strapping plants. Stomp stomp sob.
I read sprinkling wheat bran desiccates slugs.
I got some at fairly good price at a health food store.
