I love the veggies but feel I need more flowers and foliage.<br /><br />And ants didn't used to creep me out, but they are working hard at it. >Sigh<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20404633.post-71947831450869806042006-11-14T16:28:00.000-08:002006-11-14T16:28:00.000-08:00This is one of the many reasons I don't grow veget...This is one of the many reasons I don't grow vegetables-everybody eats them but me! Bugs, deer, rabbits...even chipmunks! I caught one red-handed a couple years ago with a cherry tomato as I rounded the corner of the house! (The look on his face was ABSOLUTELY worth it!) So I just spray "Liquid Fence" on my flowers about 4x per season, and enjoy the flowers. As for veggies...luckily there are some retail "truck gardeners" around here where I can go buy a few bushels of whatever I want, then put it all up on the day that I have the time-I can't beat the convenience. Someday I may erect an 8 foot fence and plant my own veggies though....or nah!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20404633.post-32692138496387217992006-11-13T15:54:00.000-08:002006-11-13T15:54:00.000-08:00Eeew, ick!

And you're right- they are so hard to eliminate. Too funny about the squash- I have confused roses that bloom off-season from everyone else in town.meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848041764631091097noreply@blogger.com
