Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html
Hi! I.ve been lurking for the last several months, and have introduced myself to some, but I think I just figured out how to actually post to the list (fingers crossed).  I'm a zone 4 gardener in the southern part of the Upper Penninsula of Michigan, and I need help.
 
Sunday night, my corn was up about 2.5 inches.  Monday morning, the plants (32 out of 36) were all laying down like they had been cut down (cutworms? birds eating the seeds? something else?)  Anyway, I put toothpicks around the others and today they were still surviving.  I also put toothpicks around my peas, cantalopes, lettuce, marigolds, tomatoes and peppers.  This morning, one cantalope had been uprooted, the other cut down, and several peas were also destroyed.  There were also suspicious holes in my pea patch where it looked like something had dug up my recently replanted peas (the first batch germinated poorly).  Any ideas on the culprit(s) would be greatly appreciated!
 
I have really enjoyed the list, and you have brightened my day many a time.
 
TIA,
Autumn
