Hi everybody! I'm glad you're all happy with your seeds! It's always a lot of fun hosting these things and seeing all the different varieties that people send in, so thanks to all of you for participating! Garden_love, I got your package sent back to my address today. It looks like the label with your address came off, so the envelope had my address on it again (it was under the label). Anyhow, I'll send it back out tomorrow. Happy Gardening! -Julia

Glad to hear that everyone is happy with what they received back! I am down to the LAST THREE ENVELOPES!!! I have 10 ready to mail this morning: Rollinrockell Foodeefish Elvimiller Thismembername Moonfire Nak10 MissyGA64 Trickfox Plus the last couple packages from THP folks. It is such a relief to be winding down the swap. I love being able to fulfill wishes! Makes me feel a bit like Santa Claus, LOL, but I am ready to focus on getting the garden ready for planting. Well, as soon as it warms up a bit. Right now, it's 16 degrees outside. It's supposed to reach 50 by the weekend though. Come on spring!!! Thank you, EVERYONE, for participating in the Pick-A-Peck of Peppers swap! Your hostess, Bonnie

The weather is beautiful here, and I hope it is where you are too!

I rule out slugs. They eat the tender leaves not the stems.To verify, go out after dark with a flash light and looks very closely. Flea beetle eat the leaves also, leaving small holes. I don't think they harm the stems. I suspect earwigs. The are nasty. They hide under mulch, under rocks, like slugs do. Remove the mulch and you should see them. For cutworms put a few nails, bamboo stick .. around the stem. That should prevent them. Mouse and rats also chew the stems. Spray with Neem Oil spray . it might deter some insects. Sey
