Picture
Soil shoveled onto bottom of netting to keep rabbits out. Bottom for rabbits. Top for deer. Boy that was a lot of work.
Picture
You gotta check almost daily to see if rabbits getting under fencing.
Picture
Tomatoes planted too close. Next year, four feet apart. Time to put more fertilizer on. Bottom leaves turning yellow. Basil on the right, way too much. Someone told me to make pesto out of it and freeze it. Planted it for spaghetti sauce but tomatoes aren't ready yet.
Picture
Huge eggplant plants. I'm actually eating them almost every day with everything else in the frying pan. Haven't gotten tired of it yet.
Picture
Broccoli recovering after rabbit invasion. Looks like it pays to feed when planting and water by hand when needed. Big chemical-free heads.
Picture
Trouble-free basil (what to do with all of that???)
Picture
Nuclear powered peppers. Stand back when biting into these! Chemical free crop.
Picture
My purple basil turned into beets. No wonder the leaves didn't taste like basil.
Picture
Yellow leaves on the bottom of the plant indicates nitrogen deficiency. This row was planted when I didn't have the long lasting fertilizer with me so I top dressed it the next day. Plants with food in the hole are fine. These need to be re-fed.
Picture
Damn bugs. Looks like I gotta identify pathogen and spray for it
Picture
Happy potatoes. Just put 'em too close to service the plants. Can't get in there to put more soil on the roots.
Picture
Recovering from rabbit browsing by putting out lots of new growth.
Picture
Lush new growth after fence repair and spraying
Picture
Beans. Prob jap beetles (?). Malathion spray needed.
Picture
Wrong label on pepper plant. I don't care really.
Picture
I don't know what this is or why it's dying. Probably some biological pathogen eating it from the inside out. Not dying because of me.
Picture
100% chemical-free cucumber never touched before. Just can't get any healthier than this!
Picture
Beautiful okra pods. Ugly when cooked but cool looking and weird not to mention EASY TO GROW!!! Famous in the south but rare in the north. Probably famous due to its drought resistance.
Picture
I suspect vine borer. Kills all curcurbit vines, extremely disheartening
Picture
Squash vine borer. Gotta look up control methods.
