I'm sorry it's not working out well, though. I have no idea what a cutworm is, but am not looking it up. (*shudder*) <br />I hope your garden grows well after your small setback.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-66185094110682795962012-06-11T12:04:36.404-04:002012-06-11T12:04:36.404-04:00Huh ...

And next year? I think I'll plant in TP or towel rolls since they'll break down over time and I won't have to remove them.

Some veggies look beautiful as ornamentals too.<br /><br />Ref: cutworms<br />They almost always take me by surprise, and I should know better. When I see the first fallen plant of the year, I go out and methodically put an aluminum foil collar around each plant. You can use cardboard too, like rolls of empty toilet paper. But I prefer the foil. <i>Foils</i> them every time. :)Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
