I am in Dover and have not seen any in bloom. I went looking for lady slippers the other day but did not see them yet.

I think it was the dog! Some of the plants are just fine. So I think that any plant that had a speck of that mushroom manure on its leaf got eaten. Kind of like a veggie and dip snack and the manure was the snack! We do have rabbits here in the hood but that is why I have the veggies in the backyard now, in raised beds and the yard is fenced in. The last little bunny that crawled under the fence was killed by Jugsy ( fortunately for me on garbage pickup day ) and i try to discourage them from coming in the back by periodically throwing some lettuce etc on the FRONT lawn, ha ha. Good tip about the eggshells, though. I do eat eggs on a regular basis and can do that in case of slugs down the line….

Wow – Did you stop feeding your dogs again? Kidding. Do you have rabbits? Or is it slug damage? We put those red plastic drink cups with the bottom cut off around each plant so things can’t crawl across the soil to get to the stem. We also sprinkle crushed eggs shells around to deter slugs as well. If you have some old juice bottles, cut off the bottom and set them over each plant to cover them until they are a little larger. This is interesting if it is your dogs.

Hey there master judy! I grew all of these little heirloom mortgage lifter tomato plants from seed, and they were ready to plant. I put them here or there the other day. Next day the leaves were eaten off of half of them! I was like…where the heck did my babies go!! I don’t think the birds are eating them ? I actually think it was my dog! He kept going in the beds and I’d had some mushroom manure from my brother in law and the dogs acted like that was candy when I first spread it around. What do you think ?

What a peaceful existence! Yes, the work is hard and unrelenting, but the company and the rewards are priceless!
Ooops! That sounds like a credit card commercial – but I think you know what I mean!
