playing in the dirt!

[lartiste]

as an apartment dweller and a NJ resident, can't have a real garden but MUST grow a few tomatoes... it's kinda the law.  have a nice little patio and a bit of a green thumb when it comes to houseplants & herbs.  growing anything in my spice cabinet in seed form... cumin, coriander (cilantro), dill, fennel, caraway.

i feel like i need a "gun" or some sort of weapon.  DAMN TREE RATS!  had a pot full of avocado seeds sprouting... they dug them all up!

i heavily dusted plants with cayenne pepper.

have no idea what's gonna sprout but nothing really to lose.

who else is playing in the dirt?

   I am! Damn tree rats and their smaller counterparts got more than half my bulbs from last year. Buggers. I bought Critter Ridder. Just planted a few painted daisies this morning and spread the Critter Ridder around some of the garden where the buggers had huge holes dug for their tunnels. If it works, I'll buy more.

I love to grow vegetables but they hate me. People here in Minnesota grow TONS of tomatoes and stuff I'm lucky if any survive LOL
