It is in a new area of the property so I have added vermiculite and compost with some peat moss. It was Hard ground,with all the recent rains it absorbed it all with no runoff. this will be the first year for it. I have high hopes.

An outdoor cat would help with mice and keep the squirrels away. The down side is they go after the birds, too. |

The bad thing here is that the owls go after the cats, and then we also have coyotes. so the cats have to be very tough. Havent had one stay yet. |

Yesterday I saw a ground squirrel,a FATone, leaving the garden. So now i know at least one of the culprits! He is eating alot of the bait. He is trying to bankrupt me.

Well I had to uncover the peas as the tendrils were comming out and it took the critters two days to discover them and EAT! More bait put out and hoping they dine happly on it.

| Mice???? May 10, 2011 | |
|
dont know what is now in the bed but my flat leaf parsley has no leaves despite being covered by plastic hardware cloth top and sides, I am getting so frustrated. I am thinking I have to plant somethings for bait so the others will be left alone.... I really wanted some flat leaf parsley. |

I put flat-leaf in everything but cake so I know your frustration. Could it be a pillbug or, at this time of year, probably a larva of some sort? See if you see any critter in your bed that loo... more » |

Looks like you need a professional... an outdoor cat that isn't fed that often! |

That would be great but the owl's rule around here and they dont seem to care to much for the mice and rat population! I keep hoping the bob cat will get to work on them instead of the rabbit's as I have fencing to keep them out. |
| I put in watermelons,1 yellow crook neck,zuccinni,Bee balm,2 types of jalapeno,1 is mild, and 3 types of cukes. Now if the mice will leave them alone! May 08, 2011 | |||||

Everyone loves squash. You might try covering plants with plastic jugs if it is not too hot and the plants are not too big. Mouse traps might reveal the culprits. They even make live trap... more » |
