You don't have to worry about the tubes because they're biodegradable. -alternatively you can make tubes out of rolled up newspaper.<br /> This might help, although we do live in england so that might make things easier...

I did it, though. Dropped the shop light onto it. I was lucky that was the only casualty.

My carrots, beets, and chard were dug up by stray cats when they decided they found a new litter box. I couldn't bring myself to replant in those areas...yuck!

If you see eggs, rub them off with your fingers (be gentle). You can still eat the spinach, just tear off the affected parts as you clean it. My spring spinach and beet greens are always damaged, the fall crops are fine.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563051087162389665.post-10067710031876576082010-04-30T07:17:42.299-04:002010-04-30T07:17:42.299-04:00Count me in for the same results on my carrots!!Count me in for the same results on my carrots!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
