Need some help with my garden?

Question

I was wondering if you knew how to keep chipmunks from eating my tomatoes. i have a small holed fence around the perimeter of at 40 by 42 foot garden. I also was wondering why the pumpkins on my plant keep turning brown after they get about 2 inches big.

Answer 1

For the Chipmunk problem, there are mole and vole deterrents that send a high pitched sound through the earth.  They don't like the sound and may have an effect on the chipmunks too.  As for the your pumpkins, I would take a soil sample to your local agricultural store and see if they can analyse it.  Or they may have too much water.

Answer 2

Your pumpkins have blossom end rot whichis caused by a calcium defiency or inconsistant watering...Heres a link on chipmunk repellent..

Home depot has a brand of pelletized slow release lime that will give your plants calcium..I believve it is 29% calcium..it is under the "organic choice" label and simply says..organic choice lime..on the label
