But, it tends to cut them before they bloom. Every morning I go outside and squash the ones I find. Sucha little insect, just saws straight through the thick stems to lay its eggs!

Is there a way you can protect your next harvest to come?<br />The rest of the garden looks beautiful. I can't believe you uttered the "W" word.

Why can't the racoons find one of those big fields of corn where there is plenty to sample and they won't miss what is taken? Hope they'll stay away from the next crop!
