Yes, that WAS a brand new Brandywine tomato transplant. It lived one day in the garden and my arch nemesis got to it. Not only that, they’ve been nibbling on my peppers and new bean sprouts. They completely decimated all of my zucchini, pumpkins and acorn squash. Oh, and the watermelon plants. One may survive, but maybe not. I tried to use one of those sprays made with putrified eggs. That’s supposed to keep the varmints away. But they just laughed at me and munched away anyway. I guess they wore nose plugs or something. So I had to resort to the big guns. This is WAR, after all. I barricaded my poor plants behind a fortification that Bugs will surely not breach. Let’s hope the fortress holds. Here are some pictures of the fortress and some of the good things going on in the garden at the farm.
