I planted Cosmos seeds; they sprouted nicely and were growing nice and healthy. I come back from the weekend, check on them, and the tops have been chomped off!! There are a few left, I'm hoping they survive and grow. I did need to thin out, but not like this! I want to try, again, but how can I stop the chomping?!?
I do have a lot of slugs, squirrels, groundhogs, and birds. I don't use pesticides; any natural ways of deterring them away from the yummy plants? The pesky things go after certain plants: Siberian Bellflower; Zinnia; Dahlia. Everything else they stay away from, so far.
