Each year it seems I face new challenges with the garden. This year are varmints. Some obvious, like the deer who are eating my roses, and some not so obvious.
The not-so-obvious one is the mysterious creature that lives under our water heater. Our pest control guy said to put bricks around it to block it's lair.
But, it just digs a new hole under the bricks.
It only comes out at night, so I haven't been able to see it yet. Only the damage it leaves behind.
Here, you can see my Anaheim chile plant, which miraculously still produces even with 90% of it's leaves chewed off.
It's pretty much decimated my much-anticipated pasilla chiles but I'm not giving up yet.
I've filled a pot with mix and transplanted the best looking of what's left of the pasilla and put a spare dripper on it.
I've hung on the wall, out of the reach of a certain night-seeking, ground dwelling creature...I hope.
Stay tuned.
