What's the one thing that seems to have helped my potted plants grow the best? Sticking Dollar Store forks into the dirt to deter critters! I don't know if it was a squirrel or bird but after I mentioned my jalapeno was picked at HERE, the critter came back and snipped all the leaves off. Once I replaced the plant I took some advice bloggy buddy Tex-Wis Girl gave me and planted some forks too! Maybe not the friendliest looking planter, but I have big plans for that little tomato off to the left:@)
I did start sprinkling everything with cayenne pepper too, I'm sure that didn't hurt either...
