Some wild bunnies and squirrels knocked over some of the plants that I transferred last weekend. I was furious and went to get my cayenne peppers to spray around the containers. I threw away the 3 cups that the knocked over. At the top, they soil look over; however, the bottom of the container was a different story. These guys in the picture took over the bottom of the cup.

Also, I noticed that the soil was pretty soggy since I kept the cup in a container of water. I wondered if that is too much water too.

I think that is one if my problem. I cut a small hole at the bottom of the cups and place them in a container of water. I removed the water at the bottom and will water them daily instead.

I went to the natural store today, and and this is the molasses that they have. I also receive the insect spray today.
