I really wonder if it's the whole transplants vs. direct seeding that has they itching to dig up the transplants because they're leaving the direct seeded things alone.<br /><br />I may have to plant some more by seed once it cools down. It's still in the mid 90's during the day here. It's unamerican,I tell you.<br /><br />EG, the film was going to be made, but the boy said he didn't want to, so it didn't. However, it would have been a good one. The pots were teeming with red ants. However, I didn't notice it until I was in there up to my elbows...as were the ants. Not fun.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-36600744336333265602010-09-22T16:01:17.880-04:002010-09-22T16:01:17.880-04:00don't feel bad, apparently my new source of le...don't feel bad, apparently my new source of lettuce is seedlings - duh, why don't I just go to the store it would be a whole lot cheaper :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-69531457071061805302010-09-22T13:35:14.955-04:002010-09-22T13:35:14.955-04:00You did well with the sweet potatoes in containers...You did well with the sweet potatoes in containers!

It's a lot of work to peel the little ones and then cook and puree them, but I bet they'll taste good.<br /><br />Here's a thought on how to protect the transplants from the critters -- make a sort of cloche for them out of chicken wire or hardware cloth, and kind of fold it over at the top. Use ground staples to attach it to the ground. Maybe it will be too much work for them to dig under to get to them, and they will have time to grow bigger. Just an idea.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-19973417329627750982010-09-21T23:35:42.334-04:002010-09-21T23:35:42.334-04:00That's amazing!
