We had been lucky so far this season - only the slugs and a few squash pests causing very minimal damage (if you could call it damage at all). Saturday morning we stopped at the garden on our way to visit friends with the intent to pick some lettuce to bring with us. Well, it appears that since Tuesday the groundhogs were getting into their salad mode and pretty much took care of our lettuce for us.
They also added 2 of our 3 cabbage plants to the mix and sampled some of our chard and dill. We did get a couple of nice yellow squashes and everything else is looking good. Tried to patch up one of the most obvious holes in our poor fence. Will be making a trip over today to cover some of the most tempting plants and patch up any other fence holes. Hopefully we don't have a repeat of last year's massacre where the groundhogs wiped out all of our Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, and Kale.
Two destroyed cabbages in the lower left among the weeds.
So far the beans are doing well.
Zucchinis are coming along nicely.
More Oregano than we can ever use...
