Went out to my garden to see how my plants where doing and looks like
I have been attacked. Plants where fine this morning but something
decapitated a few of my pepper plants since then. What got hit was 2
plants, not very tall and with fairly thin stems. Both cut off well
above the soil line during the day. I thinking it's my neighbors cat
that did it. At the moment it looks like just 2 where hit. Both
plants were Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnets. One was 6 inches tall and
just ready to take off. The other I planted a day or so ago and it
was small. Didn't see any plant parts on the ground. The plants were
cut at a angle just like some of my plants that my "indoor cat" ate a
while back. The darn furball might have gotten a serrano as well I
just can't tell cause it is so small.
Now don't cry too hard for me my fellow pepper heads, I have plenty of
powder and already have 4 jalapeno plants around 2 feet tall. Also I
have 20 or more Jamaican Red's at my disposal thanks to a local
nursery just giving them too me.
Looks like I am going to go to war with this cat. First plan of
attack is to let my dog out whenever the cat gets in my back yard.
Then I might have to go to a toy store to get some water guns and make
some pepper spray to shoot the furball with. And it looks nightly
recon missions with a little garden border liquid waste disposal is in
order as well.
So any pod heads out there got any tips to help me do battle with the
cats?
