HELP1 Termites ate my peppers!
I am just not used to southern gardening, but I am especially not used to termites being a garden pest!!! This year I planted chilies and tomatillos for salsa (I'm transplanted from Calif.).

I'm a HGHS graduate and visit your neck of the woods often to see my parents. Hope you're enjoying all this rain!
