Damage In Tolland Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 Something ate all of my pea plants.. roots and all. They had peas on them too that weren’t large enough to pick yet. They touched nothing except the peas. Any idea what eats them? Death is coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something started taking our seedlings a couple years ago, so I built chicken wire cages to go on top of my beds. I'm not even entirely convinced they were eating the plants either. It may have been squirrels digging up buried treasure and overturning my veggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a real possibility, Someone in the neighborhood was feeding the grey's shelled peanuts and i was finding them everywhere, They were burying them in the mulch of my blueberry plants, Inside the soil in my watermelon plant tote, And i even found one inside the hitch on my snowmobile trailer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today makes it 9-for-9 this month, had 0.31" overnight, month total 2.50". (Or 0.75" less than May 1st). Hoping the peppers/tomatoes don't mildew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childude645 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Nothing major, but lawns are definitely browning a bit in these parts. Same down here on Martha’s Vineyard, dry winds and low precipitation have lawns turning yellow. Even some irrigated lawns have been struggling. (I manage a robotic lawn mower fleet here on the island) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't deal with these things. They kept chewing off the tops of my seedling plants. I put water out for the robin nesting in my garage and the chippies are drinking out of it too...and surprisingly no more plants are getting destroyed. Maybe they just needed some form of hydration? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 My yard was overrun with munks the first couple years here....literally everywhere. Got an absolute killing machine of an outdoor cat 2 years ago--don't see them really outside of the woods very much now, except for the sporadic carcasses in the yard..lol. My cat nabs an occasional grey squirrel too, brought a full one inside just last week right into the kitchen 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
