Critter gnawing melons
I've got some Sugar Baby melons, coming along fine.
Little chunks taken out of one or two - looked like there were teeth marks. Some small rodent, maybe (?). I realize that Sevin is an insecticide, but would a healthy dusting maybe keep little rodents away, until I get fence up? flick 100785 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Try getting some habanera powder and dusting the melons. I did that with a pumpkin that the squirrels were eating, and they stopped eating it until the hot pepper got washed off by the rain. Ray |

Critter gnawing melons
I once caught a turtle gnawing the end of one of my melons. I gently put
him on the other side of the fence and he never bothered me again. Dwayne "flick" wrote in message ... I've got some Sugar Baby melons, coming along fine.
