RE: Garden Journal - October 2022 ... let the snow fly as we say goodbye to all that's green and everything in-between

I wonder if a wrap of sticky tape, pretty wide along the trunk would deter the ants...

Glad your beets did much better. My carrots didn't do much at all, but mostly all my fault.

I've got squash to bring in, but no root cellar yet to put it in.

Sort:  

I've tried the tape before and once it rains it's not too sticky.

I didn't do too well with the carrots last year and it was all my fault, planted them where they only got about 3 hours of direct sunlight.

Root cellar, now we're talking, it's a dream of mine.
We've been saving for a tractor for the past 4 years and next spring we may just spring for one. If we do get the tractor, a root cellar may be in the cards.
