(((((((Gardening Roomies))))))) I hope that you win the battle with your little pests......I am doing my best to be patient with my plant but you know how it is when you are worried about your 'baby' Have a great day!

Cut it way back and don't overwater. I think it'll come back. They like fresh starts.

RED mites, WHITE flies....make me BLUE!

LiamFan....do you have moles? Not personally, you know...critter type ones? They seem to be our worst bulb destroyer. That's what MrGardner here says.

Sounds nice, Addie...flowers in winter!

LiamFan! · November 6th, 2002, 05:31 PM

I've not seen any moles. Then again, I probably wouldn't. Are they nocturnal?

Wait. I'm nocturnal...

Lou · November 6th, 2002, 06:09 PM

Liam, I think you'd see ridges of upturned dirt where the moles or gophers tunnel underground.

When I was a child, I was afraid of moles--their blind eyes and funny digging feet.

lol Addie! Washing the car always causes rain!
Flowers all winter! Must be nice! Do you ever pick them to dry for craft projects?

Angel, best of luck with your plant.

Hi hi Cod, Liam and Lou. I wanted to keep as a pet a mole my mom found in the garden. I put it in my chocolate Easter egg box. In the morning, he was nowhere to be found. All that remained was the box with a big hole chewed out of it! lol I remember how tiny it was and what a looooonnngg nose it had! I've never seen a mole since.

Oh, oh and.........
I'd rather have a mole in the garden then those awful white grubs that destroy lawns. Ewwwww!

Cod · November 6th, 2002, 08:32 PM

Yes....moles will leave...um....mole hills!

Lou · November 6th, 2002, 09:57 PM

Better'n mountains.

Hi (((Gardeners)))!

Cod · November 6th, 2002, 10:08 PM

that is SO true, Lou!

If you go to this page on Shamanism, you can scroll down and see a picture of a real mole that creeps me out . . .

. . . but at least you'll be able to recognize a mole in your garden.

How do you all get cats to not eat your houseplants?

Cod · November 6th, 2002, 11:46 PM

Get a LARGE Venus Flytrap, Cinderellen!

LiamFan! · November 6th, 2002, 11:58 PM

Well...I don't have cats! LOL

I don't suppose that's an option, huh.

Cod · November 7th, 2002, 12:06 AM

I hope we've helped, Cinderellen.

anniejoan · November 7th, 2002, 07:44 AM

Wow Lou! Look at those big claws on it! It looks way bigger than the one I saw as a kid!

Cinder, can you put the plants up high were the cat can't go? Some houseplants are toxic to animals so best of luck keeping your cat away from them. Or, maybe the plants can be put in a room that the cat isn't allowed in?
