I went to say "Hello and good morning" to the transplants and I had a present. The trap I had set finally caught the little rat that was eating the pepper plants. It chewed down about 100 of the sweet peppers while they were only a 1/2" high. It didnt go for the hot peppers. I will spare you the gruesome image by not posting a photo. I just hope I can get some more going for the season so we can enjoy them grilled with the eggplant and some steak. They are by far the toughest tropical plants to grow in this cool moist climate.
UPDATE: 4 total have been caught. We lost 3 flats of peppers in all. Thats over 200 plants. I wonder why they like the peppers so much?
