I don't have that to contend with...just a dog that likes to pull the plants out of the pots. We win the groundhog war, and now this. Bah. Hope the harvest continues to go well!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715288880868772419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-7630906382562745432011-06-27T19:21:22.165-07:002011-06-27T19:21:22.165-07:00Nice!

We are renting the house with a big yard, and I decided to give gardening a go. It was fun reading up on your progress.<br />We had planted sunflowers a bit over a month ago, and six out of 17 were eaten straight out. Out of the 11 left, many are getting their leaves eaten up. There is even some insect laying eggs inside the leaves, and the larvae are hatching and eating the inside of the leaves (leaving the skin on top and bottom intact, like a little pouch for themselves.) <br />I also planted corn and spaghetti squash... and there was a grape vine, lettuce and lots of different mint plants from before. None of them are getting eaten as badly as the sunflowers! Did you have such a problem? Also, how long did it take for them to bloom? Mine aren't nearly ready, it seems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
