first time growing outside

[drexell200]

i put them in a nice open field when they were two weeks old and when i went back two days later they were half eaten - looks like bug bites the only bugs i seen were slugs but it didnt look like it couldve been them - i have no idea mebe ants???? i say half of almost every plant was chewed away and some the whole top was gone

[m.g.]

next time place an open-ended aluminum can or plastic bottle with both ends cut off over them. this barrier method will keep insects and small rodents off of the seedlings until old enough to better fend for themselves.

i use a plastic cup with small holes in it
as it is transparent and keeps heat in well
