The creature from hell visits my garden every night. It has eaten so many things- 1 of my 2 burgundy gaillardia, a gaillardia goblin, one of only 3 cleome, many of the zinnia, some blue flax, larkspur, catchfly, I've lost track. Most mornings I discover the damage. With some zinnia, a 3 or 4 inch seedling just completely vanished, roots and all. I'm blaming this on maybe a rabbit, but I honestly don't know.

He, or some other creature also digs holes, sometimes unearthing plants and leaving them on top of soil. Sometimes there is no plant involved- just a hole. I don't think rabbits do that. I'm really frustrated and discouraged. And I'm not quite through planting out.

I keep sprinkling blood meal. I've also put out nearly 2 POUNDS of cayenne. Yes, I meant pounds.
