day 20

day 20. the babies are getting their second real leaf! i put them in a few hours of afternoon sun yesterday. i will do the same again today. 

it seems i have an earwig problem. they have munched the heck out of my blue potato plant and i found 3 of them attacking one of the melon seedlings last night. i am finding that a little beer cup in the garden is helping trap all kinds of bad stuff, cockroaches, earwigs, slugs. and i caught a few earwigs in some rolled up newspaper i tried. i'm going to try that again tonight. 

it's funny, i didn't realize that rolled up newspaper could actually gather earwigs. if i had known that before, i might not have put them in paper pots! lesson learned! i still haven't tried that hot pepper solution yet. maybe i'll try that tonight.
