We can't keep the stinkin deer out of our garden....
I've honestly been tempted to take that Semi-automatic rifle & just mow their azzes down.....I've had as many as 20 deer in my yard at a time.
Already saw a couple huge black bear too...the bears dont bother me but, those deer are a real nuisance- they eat all my wild blackberry's too!
*edit* I should add, that an electric fence did no good.
Sorry for tye rant, just really pizzed off about it.

Have a look at Critterfence.com

Thank you
I apologize for stinkin up the joint
I'll definitely give it a look see

The Cotton Candy is like a small Cherry tomato only sweeter . I believe we got the purple pots we got early Spring at COSTCO . Ha ha , no friend called me and asked if I could use some organic Coco plant food that a dispensary greenhouse was moving and didn’t want to move all the bags of Coco. I told him sure and he told me it would be stacked outside of garage for me . Next I filled the back of truck , gave to daughters and a neighbor and down to last bag year . That was two years ago , so it was worth my time , and was thankful . Dan

OOPS! Now you'll have to eat those Wacky Red Peppers!!!

I read all of the posts. Man-o-man we have some experts in here. Take the time to Bless the Lord that you guys/gals have the mobility and fitness to create and maintain these fine gardens. I was going to do a lil bit of this but never even managed to get started. I'm winded just looking at the effort!

Oh he gets a call from me everyday …if you lived near me I’d come plant you one…and if you can put me on a big ol’ buck then I’ll come plant you one in the fall…Illinois grows some monsters …

We can’t eat all of our tomatoes so I’ve been letting the locals have a few.



I wish the cardinals would stop eating all my swallowtail caterpillars but oh well.

I wish I had the luxury of donating some produce to the local wildlife but the garden is just too small… I have been feeding a mama rabbit and her baby romaine, spinach and carrots tho, hoping they don’t figure out they could easily jump my low barriers…and speaking of swallowtail is this the butterfly stage I’ve been seeing on the pugsters?

Beautiful, nice variety of groceries…my favorite part about having a garden is the end result and I’m guessing y’all introduced her to the very satisfying passion of growing your own food

[SaltyCaribbeanDfly]

Calm before the storm here cuz we planted late

[SaltyCaribbeanDfly]

This morning’s haul…I love using the Siren for harvesting cuz I can reach out and get into some tight spots…it’s slicier than you think…and my dumb… blocked the two strawberries under the handle which generated the most excitement of anything …we now have gotten a grand total of…….seven
