I had a trinidad moruga scorpion in a container next to several container bell peppers.
once the furry little thieves moved past the bells and ‘discovered’ the scorpion I never had a problem with thieving again.
I KNOW what happened because the morning after the last night I had predation problems I found a nearly ripe scorpion pepper halfway down my driveway with one squirrel/chipmunk sized bite out of it.
I nearly had a coughing fit laughing and the neighbors looked at me funny.
LOL. Good for you! Hubby just got back from the corn patch. It is all laying on the ground, and something has eaten all but one of the ears of corn. No tomatoes, peppers or corn from his garden this year.
Summer squash, zukes, and a few potatoes is all. Good thing we aren’t depending on the garden for all our food.
