Here he is, looking at me with that, "What are you looking at" face. When I put him down out of the pot I found that my corn plant is completely gone and every other plant in the pot has been at least chewed on. I don't know what to do. I let him out on the porch when I go out there, but even if I just go inside to fill up the watering containers he jumps right up into the nearest pot and starts chomping. I think he has set my pepper harvest back quite a a bit. One of my pepper plants that I planted at the community garden was chewed on badly enough before I planted it down there that I don't think it will ever fully recover. I am thinking about replacing it. I will just have to keep Cooper of the porch. He will not like that. He will complain very loudly I am sure, but I have tried everything to discourage him from eating my plants. He also has pretty severe food allergies and is on a restricted diet, so eating random plants in the garden is probably not good for him. I suspect that he is allergic to corn, and possibly other things as well.
I will have an update about the community garden again as soon as I can get some new pictures. It is looking really good. Th garden at the in-laws is doing great, as well.
Can you sprinkle black pepper on the plants? Would that hurt them? I've done that on my plants (back when I actually had some), and it kept my Kooper from grazing.
