It's not fair. At least our birds are red-blooded, bug-eating ones, not wimpy vegans. And I'm stealing your idea with the newspaper. If I get the extra garden plot again, I think I will put a heavy layer of newspaper down the row before David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-88838480907311510462014-12-29T14:00:18.514-08:002014-12-29T14:00:18.514-08:00I love seeing the lizards nesting in the garden.

Most of the heat lovers seem to go in around the same time as here but they continue to produce for a good 2 months longer. Those pepper plants are huge - I was all a gush about my lushest pepper plants and they weren't even two feet tall!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-20600653194660659332014-12-29T08:53:01.173-08:002014-12-29T08:53:01.173-08:00It's interesting to see you using newspaper to...It's interesting to see you using newspaper to cover the bare soil. Presumably this is to reduce water loss?

The one in the photo is well camouflaged, and I never would have seen her head poking out if you hadn't mentioned it!<br /><br />I see your peppers and eggplants are staggered down the row. I plant mine in a staggered double row about 18 inches apart in the row, and I was curious about your spacing.
