Oh Deer

So, I knew we were taking a risk clearing out some of the blackberry without putting up a fence between the garden and the field- and after the field got mowed right up to our property a furry friend starting grazing- specifically on the yellow beans, green beans, and raspberry– although now he’s moved on to the beets and carrot tops. Les sigh.

He has lots of options though, so P put in poles to make the beans grow higher.

Todays haul wasn’t half bad.

Pulling garlic and onions

Got a pretty good haul of onions and garlic today. That’s prolly about half- the other half is still in the ground. GOOD year for this stuff! Many onions bolted, but the remaining ones are big and beautiful

The garlic in the west bed was best- the middle variety in the south bed was good too- I’m a little disappointed with the ones on the sides (I’ll edit to add variety names)

Also got a couple of dinky novas, raspberries, garlic scapes, and some squash

Oh, and yellow beans!

Looks like something (deer?) helped itself to some green bean and raspberry leaves

Oh, and a couple of tomatillo and one

I think I missed a day

Green Beans out our ears. I finally pulled the last of the start onions and garlic, braids coming soon. Still got some berries- and more tomatoes and tomatillos. And carrots and beets

I’m loving the carrot top “pestos” with onions, garlic, whatever green herb (basil, cilantro, oregano) and an acid (red wine vinegar, citrus). P put it on pizzas tonight.

The varieties in West E are MASSIVE. All of the things I’ve pulled look healthy (:
