I had a wascally wabbit probwem a couple of yeaws ago and it was suggested
to me to spwead some blood and bone meal awound the garden making the
wabbits think that some big mean predator was lurking nearby killing prey
like the wabbits. This kept the wabbits away and stopped tem from eating the
plants and flowers before they could bear any flowers or fruit.

I am growing some seedlings here too - rocoto rojo, charleston cayenne,
chile grande, peter pepper, fatali, and purira along with a couple bell
peppers but it will be another 4 weeks before any can be put in the garden
