  5. Because of the deer, I grow in large pots on my porch. One was too close to the edge and the deer walked up and ate in anyhow! The others, I moved way back and now the chipmunk stripped three of all of the leaves. I have four left and, knock on wood, they are doing very well! I was disappointed to have lost both of my current tomatoes to the animals and hope that your plant sale offers them again next year!
  6. This is interesting! Ant colonies farm them! EcologyEdit Bloodroot is one of many plants whose seeds are spread by ants, a process called myrmecochory. The seeds have a fleshy organ called an elaiosome that attracts ants. The ants take the seeds to their nest, where they eat the elaiosomes, and put the seeds in their nest debris, where they are protected until they germinate. They also benefit from growing in a medium made richer by the ant nest debris. The flowers produce pollen, but no nectar. Various bees and flies visit the flowers looking in vain for nectar, for instance sweat bees in the genera Lasioglossum and Halictus, cuckoo bees in the genus Nomada, small carpenter bees (Ceratina), and bee flies in the genus Bombylius. Some bees come to collect pollen, including mining bees (Andrena), which are the most effective pollinators.[7][8] The bitter and toxic leaves and rhizomes are not often eaten by mammalian herbivores.[8]

      Thank You!  Far too much turkey though

  17. My great grandmother was in her late 30's and her 18 year old son (Gelnett) both died in this pandemic. They are buried in the Knoxdale Cemetery. Walking through that cemetery, I was shocked by the number of tombstones that had 1918 as the date of death.
  18. Happy Birthday! Hope it was a great day!

    Oh, what a sweet little face!
  20. The fungus feeds on dead or rotting wood so it doesn't actually cause the problem but it a sign that the tree or roots are bad. It won't invade healthy wood.I agree with Petee and Lavender. I wouldn't use bleach on the soil.
  21. I am thinking slugs since it has been so damp lately. Bury a couple of plastic cups level with the soil.. Put a little beer in the bottom. They do their damage at night so check in the morning and see if you have drowned any. The dampness also draws earwigs and pill bugs. Some birds will also just peck a hole and move on. It is a frustrating problem to solve until you can figure out what the culprit is! My money is on the slugs though. I had the same problem so now I grow them in big pots and no more holes!
