I need to do this or make more butter tomorrow before mine go bad. On a side note my garden needs some heat! It's hard not to pick what i have but another week and the heat coming this weekend should make the garden pop. Also cucumber crisis 2022 has been avoided. After a second planting I have some healthy seedlings. Mild garlic flavor with good texture. We made scape pesto a few days ago and tonight we had scapes sautéed with asparagus. Love em! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted Thursday at 01:44 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:44 AM I didn’t plant garlic last year and I will miss the scapes as much as the garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belo Posted Thursday at 07:10 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:10 PM i have a fenced garden but have struggled with moles or chipmunks or something nibbling at my cucumbers and stuff over the years. Well this year I go out to find my 6 pepper plants just severed. Like someone took prunners and just cut them at the stem. I'm f'n annoyed and pissed now. It doesn't even make sense. There's a hole in the corner where something burrowed up into the raised bed. I now have some mouse and rat traps out there but idk if this creature likes peanut butter.

Nytracker Posted Thursday at 09:07 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:07 PM Garden has been in for 2 weeks . Everything has doubled in size . Have had to waterb3 times now even well mulched . Garlic has scapes . I will cut them this afternoon. Garlic tips took a freeze a while back . Tips were yellow . Yellow is now spreading down the leaves. Pulled back the mulch from around the plants and it was real wet . Hope thats the only problem . Stems are real thick and hardy this year Should hope to get some big bulbs at harvest. Yesterday morning I had to be to work early. When I walked to the kitchen the motion detector light was on . I walked out to 5 deer standing in and around the garden . Im sure 3 were bucks . I yelled at them and they just stood there. So in a t-shirt and boxers I slipped on my crocks and had to walk to 15 yards and they finally broke and ran into the brush. Good thing it was so early . After work I vacumed the carpet collected the bag of dog hair and spread it around the garden . Upon inspection they nipped off a pepper plant squash and 4 tomatoes. Last night after dark I personally marked the 4 corners of the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corydd7 Posted Thursday at 09:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:17 PM That sucks guys. Before my fence went up the deer got to four of my pepper plants. Two are not really recovering but the other two grew back thicker and healthier then prior to the deer pruning them. Hope they grow back for you guys. After fishing yesterday I came home to this girl in potatoe garden. They are suppose to be toxic for deer so hopefully she wasn't the culprit and it was the racoon I caught that morning.

Belo Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago spent $8 at lowes to restock the peppers I lost. We have a new puppy so I'm trying not to put out any poison, but dropped some down one of the holes. Really annoyed to lose veggies that take so long to get going. Wife snapped a bean plant on accident too. This has not been the belo family garden's year at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
