Wow! Susan too many critters😊 In Australia we worry about things that might bite us, not our plants. 😊 But I'll be on the lookout anyway
I agree, Gardener's Supply has great products, I have some if the chicken wire cloches. Tfs!
Thanks for these ideas for protecting your plants. I also have some issues in my raised beds of having roly polys eating my veggies roots. They recently ate my young 10" high tomato plant in one day, and yesterday, they ate the roots completely off of my zucchini plant. Any suggestions on how to protect my plants from Roly Polys underground?
It is always difficult to thin carrots. I do it begrudgingly. 😊
