Toni-My last cabbage had been safely under a row cover for about 4 weeks. I'd been trying to protect it. No way --darn buggers still got in there and chewed half the thing away. I salvaged about half of it. They were bad this year! I've covered my chard to keep them from thinking it's the last edible thing around. I think the GHs have left Cheyenne pretty much, hope the have left the Big Horns too.
I just was wondering if they would be attracted to the rind and a little melon left on...wanted to feed them hahahaha. Have no garden this year ...but millions of grasshoppers.
That is one big grasshopper.
ReplyDeleteOh, i'd have to create hell on earth for those grasshoppers!
ReplyDeleteI know EG!!!! How should I go about doing that?
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking chickens... a pen... all around my garden!
Saw the title of your post and had to pop over and get the answer to this one. :) I would NOT have guessed that grasshoppers could gobble the melons!
