Everyone in the region is having an epic season, my friends say people are telling their neighbors to come pick what they want out of their gardens because they're done canning and picking for the year.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-366618288150857572017-07-17T04:43:35.636-07:002017-07-17T04:43:35.636-07:00Hi Margaret,

We were lucky the rabbits didn't show up till the garden was fairly mature, I found their nest in the bean patch. Bad years can be very depressing, I'll cross my fingers that some hawks and owls show up to help you out.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-10999764545999032312017-07-10T02:51:06.342-07:002017-07-10T02:51:06.342-07:00It all looks beautiful and delicious!

Last summer squirrels took a bite out of most of my tomatoes but luckily hawks moved in and now they seem to be gone. If we still had a squirrel problem my plan was to get a fake owl and fake snake and move them around the garden.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-3889860952231351762017-07-04T21:54:05.997-07:002017-07-04T21:54:05.997-07:00Holy moly that's a lot of tomatoes!

The variety is Early Jalapeno, but it's probably the affects of the cooler than usual spring and regular rain.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806765669512996094.post-34391146554692685322017-07-04T19:19:15.556-07:002017-07-04T19:19:15.556-07:00Wow, just beautiful tomatoes, too bad the peppers ...Wow, just beautiful tomatoes, too bad the peppers aren't as early for the salsa.
