Well, it's time for yet another garden update! I know, how tiring, right? You've had to muddle through a whole, what is it, three or four garden posts? LOL You poor dears!
I made a video today, if you'd like to see (and hear) it that way. Or, below, I've posted a few pictures. You can view the whole photo gallery from today here.
Here's the video from YouTube. While it loads, go read about ephedra sinica! Or not, it's your call. LOL
After the deer came back, AGAIN, and ate more beans, more cucumbers, and more tomatoes, we decided we had to do something other than Liquid Fence. Apparently, the deer get used to it after a while. So, we put in an electric fence. So far, so good!
This is Greg's huge Roma tomato plant. The plant itself is almost 5 feet. And, at last count, there were over 30 tomatoes on it. We've taken a couple, but I don't think the deer have eaten any of them yet.
This is my sad little Square Foot green bean patch. The deer ate from it at least twice, so it was looking pretty ragged, but it seems to be perking back up! Oh, I have to mention. I got my bean seeds at the True Value in Marietta. The label said it was bush beans, but apparently there was an accident or something at the seed factory, because there are both bush and vining beans in there. I have yet to figure out how to put up poles or anything in my square garden, and still be able to reach all of them.
My zucchini are still doing great, although, I took out the cauliflower. They just weren't doing anything other than feeding bugs. LOL I'll have to put them out earlier next year.
Ditto with the cabbages. They weren't getting eaten as bad though. I don't know why. The bell peppers are doing great, though! They are supposed to be orange when they're ripe, hence the yellow color now.
Of course, the obligatory photo of Sammy, standing near my grapes, and in front of one of the Rose of Sharon that is blooming!

the deer bothered our garden once and never came back (thank goodness) they nibbled on the beans at the end of the row and ate the tops of a few of my sunflowers. I put a few pots of marigolds at the end of the rows, don't know if that helped or not, but they never came back. A few years ago we used an electric fence, but it became a pain to deal with, so we took it down and crossed our fingers.
