Little Buggers
What a great crop we have had here in Prairie Village! First the cherry's, then apples and peaches and now with cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers. Things do know how to grow. However, we have lots of critters. When we went to Colorado, the cherry tree was bursting with fruit. Not one was there when we got back. Then we went to Newton and the apples all disappeared. Even all the ones on the ground. Not a trace left! Now we took a few days to hang out with Kari and Jimmy and all (even the green ones) the tomatoes disappeared. We have seen rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks. If anyone has a suggestion on how to keep them out, let us know. We were not too happy to see the tomatoes go.

anything that grows near the ground can usually be saved by putting a nice dose of ground cayenne or habanero peppers into the surrounding soil. I don't know what to do about the fruit trees...I lost all my apricots this year.
