Made my first batch of pickles from the garden. I have five jars of pickled zucchini which is almost an every night snack these days. I never heard of pickled zucchini until last year, if anyone has extra zucchini it's a must try.

Asian eggplant, squash, zucchini, a couple different peppers. I sprayed some deer repellent in a heavy quantity, it has worked the last four days but my garden is about tapped out for now. I'm happy just to be able to salvage some of the garden the last week.

I take the dog hair that’s collected in the vacume  cleaner. Spread it around the garden . I was late getting it on and the neighborhood whitetails picked on a couple of my  bruslesprouts. Put hair on the day I found it and they haven't been back for 3 days now.  We have 2 labs so I regularly vacume up a 3rd dog . Not saying it will always work but it has worked for me .

1st zucchini of the year.  Tomatoes are starting to ripen and there is a ton for 3 plants.  Def need to pick some chard and green onions. Carrots are starting to go good now, peas are done.

What kind of bee???

[doebuck1234]

I deff have no shortage of bee's this year.every open flower has atleast 2,have seen em there daily.my shortage is female flowers so far

Cant keep up with the zucchini. Some cucumbers are getting big, deer spray is doing its job so far. My pepper plants that were eaten down to the numb are making a slow comeback, hopefully they will give me some peppers if left alone.

Not from my garden but I bought some treats from the Warwick farmers market. Bison burgers, ostrich steak, and goat meat for stew. Also some halibut but pretty sure that wasn't local.

[doebuck1234]

So my cousin as the hot pepper freak he is,has tons of plants growing/small business setup.surprised on the market of these thing's but is trying to make it happen for sure.helped him today setup a 7x10x26 green house,maybe 1 or two more soon.The garage needs some clearing out!!!sweet,mild or super hots...Anyone in need of HOTNESS,im ur guy!!
