That night, a frost came. All but one bell pepper plant succumb to the cold; the tomatoes mostly survived.<br />My dear husband bought more plants, planted again a couple of weeks later, and that night...another freeze! ARGH!<br />This time a the lone pepper that had survived the previous freeze, gave it up. 4 of the new plants survived. All of the tomatoes are gone :-(<br />We still have onions!<br />Husband is thinking of trying again this weekend. Seeing as today was a 90 degree day, we're thinking the danger of frost is over.<br />But now there is a new danger lurking apparently...the ever invasive rolly pollies. <br />Oh my!Essentially Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792347432702187466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545338742121269254.post-52739904623750147482009-04-20T22:00:00.000-07:002009-04-20T22:00:00.000-07:00we want more bloggy!

It seemed to attract them but not kill them. I was able to get rid of a whole bunch at once because they were all congregated on the orange. Maybe grapefruit has something that actually kills them. I will try it again. For now they are hiding from the sun under the chard.<BR/>Clayton-<BR/>Thanks for the inspiration.

My dad has offered his air rifle as a final solution... I am very tempted. We have big pecan trees in the front and back yards so they are in paradise here. I guess the think we set out all those baby plants just for them to feast on. <BR/>They also eat all the (unripe) figs off our glorious big fig tree in the back. I have no warm feelings toward those little terrors!Phaedra Jean Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733258249923104102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545338742121269254.post-30034580556640594312009-03-26T14:42:00.000-07:002009-03-26T14:42:00.000-07:00I understand your pain!

I don't know about that.<BR/>But my nemesis--the squirrels. We have so many lovely trees housing so many unlovely squirrels. I'm beginning to suspect that squirrels are actually an effect of the Fall. They dig, dig, dig, even where they have not sowed (i.e. buried their treasures), but where I have sowed. Oh, my poor seeds and seedlings! I think those squirrels are in cahoots.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470283761189392205noreply@blogger.com
