Fighting Back

No excuses.  It has been over 3 weeks since my last post.  Laziness, pure and simple.  I will try to update the goings on over the last month. 

After witnessing the aftermath of the Groundhog invasion last month, we took action to try to prevent further damage.  This included patching some holes in our fence and covering the lettuce and chard with plastic netting to discourage further salad bar visits.



We continued to notice small amounts of critter munching going on, but after a thorough search for holes in the fences, I think we may have put an end to most of the breaches.




 

Our pole beans are progressing.  Starting to see many blossoms and some very tiny beans beginning to form.


We should be harvesting onions within the next week. 


There is some progress on the carrot front.  I actually was able to thin them some last week.




We harvested our garlic 2 weeks ago and have been enjoying a house full of the aroma of drying garlic.  Next up - onions.



The Basil is kind of overshadowing the peppers here.



So far, so good with the tomatoes.  They are just starting to ripen.  Soon the tomato deluge!
