To those of you that have veggie gardens - what is eating my cucumber and melon seedlings? Also green tomatoes are disappearing. It happens overnight. Yesterday I planted a 4" cucumber plant. This morning it is gone. The beds are 1 foot high raised with 2 feet high chicken wire, so something little is getting thru' the 1 " gaps in the wire or over the top. Any thoughts? Never had this problem in prior years.

Could the critter be an underground variety, like a gopher?

Yep squirrels, they are really bad this year, we've lost a ton of stuff too.

We shoot and trap them and they are still running rampant.

OK it's official, the meet-up will be rescheduled to Saturday the 23rd! AT 11 AM UNTIL 6 PM. Lets see if we can get most everyone to stay the whole time, so that people that can't come until later don't miss out on anything.

ALSO, please let me know if anyone wants their info changed (or added) to the Breeders and Hatchers page on our website, I am updating it. It's here: http://sandiegochickens.webs.com/breederslist.htm

Thanks!
