Frustrating start to my growing

[PepperPassion]

In my excitement to grow a garden for the first time in many years, I planted all of the super hot pepper seeds I gathered together. I planted a ton of tomato seeds too, but still have some of those seeds left. Apparently I have a mouse, and it ate all of my pepper seedlings! Of course it didn't get the tomatoes, he probably knew I had backup seeds.

I have traps set now, but am disappointed that I managed to lose all of my peppers in one day. I was recently sent some chocolate habanero seeds, and orange ghost seeds, so after I am sure I have taken care of the mouse problem I will give this another whirl.

I had the same thing happen to me last year. I hope you have better luck with the next round.

We had mice get into our kitchen, I found the hole from outside and sealed it with epoxy and steel wool. Haven't had a problem since. Everywhere I read said that using just traps isn't usually enough, you have to find out where they are coming in at and plug the leak.

Thanks for the support and advice! It's much appreciate!

Moruga Welder: that is so nice of you! How much are your seeds?

My dog as a puppy ate a bunch of my seedlings a couple years back (she "topped" all of them)!! Get yourself a cat.

I had a cat until this last year. We got two puppies and now no cats will come near our house. The puppies (now 100 pounds each) think cats are snacks. I didn't miss the cat until now.

I had a couple rats decapitate 2 plants last year.
There is no more rats in the neighborhood now!

 

[PepperPassion]

I bet! I think we got all of our mice caught now, but I still have traps set all over, just in case. I will leave them set up until I get the plants outside.
