We killed a chicken snake that had his head hanging into out chicken coop one night...just waiting for me to leave so he could try and feast. He was about 2 inches wide and over 5 feet long. The second one we caught (well over 5 feet long) and released at a lake about a half mile from our...

This started on my yellow squash plants, but now seems to be spreading throughout the garden. Little round yellow spots on the leaves. The leaves don't seem to be dying, so I stopped cutting them...which I had been doing initially. It almost looks like my yellow squash plant leaves have...

I've been dealing with hornworms and tomato fruit worms, now I have some sort of worm or caterpillar that is eating the leaves off of some citrus saplings that I'm growing. I saw one larger worm/caterpillar on one plant that ate most of the leaves (the plant was only about 3 inches tall) and...

Luckily, I only used Miracle Grow on the plants two (maybe three) times since I've planted them. They have been in the ground for a while now. Maybe I'll just start a few seeds in large pots and then I can move them into my greenhouse if it gets too cold. =) Thanks everyone for the advice...

Hmmm...well, is it too late in the year (in Florida) to start from seed or to plant new plants? Where I live in Florida, I probably have a good 4-5 months of hot weather left and then another month or two after that before it gets even close to any freezes. Plus, I have a greenhouse that I...

I've been using Miracle Grow and have had plenty of blooms, but my yellow squash just won't get big. They won't get much larger than about 2 inches long. :/ Even a co-worker complains that their yellow squash aren't getting big this year. I see the bees pollinating my cucumbers (tons of big...

I came outside the other day and noticed one huge hornworms eating two one of my beefsteak tomato plants and one starting to eat a second. My tomatoes are still green and are about mid-stage in their growth (about mid-size). I check them daily, so I was shocked to see how much they ate in just...

I'm a BYC'er too. I'm hoping this site has as much useful information and as many knowledgable members as BYC. :D

I have some muskmelon plants that I need to transplant (so they have room to spread out), but I'm concerned that deer will eat them. I don't have time to put up a fence around the plants right now, so I was wondering if deer typically eat Muskmelon plants?
