Something is eating my tomatoes and peppers

| We planted our garden this weekend and something is eating our tomatoes and green pepper plants. We stopped growing the usual things that rabbits eat (green beans, peas, Kohlarabi, etc.) cuz they eat them down to the ground. But do they eat tomatoes and peppers? Help |

Barb, hate to worry you, but rabbits do eat tomatoes and green peppers..I don't know about hot peppers, never grew the hot..I've even see squirrels munching away..LOL..It's hard growing veggies w/all the wildlife around..especially, if like me, you don't use chemicals..Then there are bugs that like veggies, too..I remember tomato worms yrs ago..haven't seen one in yrs, but they were long, semi-curly, light green worms.
I don't know if this will work, but I've read if you spray w/cayenne pepper, animals and pests will stay away..Toni |

| Hi Barb, Ah, critters in the garden... sigh. If indeed they are critters chewing your plants you might try hot pepper wax. You spray it on your plants and the bunnies don't like it. Some people swear by urine soaked cat litter, just keep it to the outside edges of the garden not near the plants. My neighborhood seems to be dog world so I don't have a source of used litter to try it out. Good luck! |
