I hate cutworms. Last year I thought "...Oh no! I hate cutworms. Last year I thought "well, cutworms never eat my plants so I'm not going to bother cutting up all those toilet paper tubes to use as collars" and found out the hard way that the <i>reason</i> I didn't have cutworm problems was because I always used the collars. Not this year. I ran out of toilet paper tubes and started cutting up anything made out of posterboard to make more. Everything from cereal boxes to Krispy Kreme donut boxes (which crack me up adorning my healthy veggie plants).<br /><br />As for physalis, which one is it? I love the heck out of ground cherries, yum yum! I hope your other one does well (you're going to wish you had more than one though).Eliza @ Appalachian Feethttp://www.appalachianfeet.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-26431377524082461152011-05-08T19:08:42.865+01:002011-05-08T19:08:42.865+01:00Hi Mark, I have cutworm damage to anything I put ...Hi Mark, I have cutworm damage to anything I put out unless I use a paper towel cardboard "collar" around the stem of plant. Hope your remaining plant makes it!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873738272799176944noreply@blogger.com
