Dave got the fence patched up where the deer were braking in to feast on the watermelons, pumpkins and corn. An ear popped up today as well and I grabbed a picture of a dragonfly on the corn. Did you know that a dragonfly’s life span is just 24 hours? I also snapped a couple shots of the rabbit I must take down in order to save my crop. god, I hate rabbits and deer.
Green Pepper, Thai Hot Pepper, Zucchini and tomatoes
I found a ton of pumpkins popping up. I was worried that they wouldn’t be pollinated but after my last post I noticed lots of bees, dragonflies, ants and other insects doing the pollination job. Thanks for the help Mother Nature.
I’m trying a new format with this post. Wordepress has made it a pain in the ass to post pics and text and make it look decent. So, please take a moment to click on the thumbnail pic to see it.
hey man you got any woods up there i will gladley help keep the deer population down
Some woods, enough for a tree stand and cover.
Hey Danny! 2 Things….
#1. There is an herb called Rue that is supposed to keep the rabbits out of the garden. I planted it at 2 corners of my garden and haven’t seen 1 rabbit come near it all summer!
#2. For the past 2 years my zucchini plants do great starting out and then are attacked by some bug that kills them off in a few days. 😦 Know any way to keep the bugs away?
Hope you and the girls are doing well!
Beautiful, beautiful piece of land! I will follow all on your pumpkins. I’ve not had much luck with them. They seem to start growing, with flowers, and then nothing! – or a few small ones that never really do anything 😦
Love it! Dan!
