Jal, don't be offended -- you look SO cute with your bowlful of strawberries! I swear you look like a little boy. It's a great picture

ja, great garden and great surroundings. I figure you must have a very large family or you are gardening commercially.

But I am a little boy. Unfortunately, I seem to be captive in a tired, worn out old body.......................

John, I have a large family. They have all flown the nest. I grow much more than the wife and I need. The kids get some. Neighbors and friends get some. I sell a little bit at the farmer's market. That is a social event. One never makes any money at it.

Next year, I am going to cut the veggie garden in half. (Every time my wife hears me say that, she just giggles............ ya, ya.........)

Thanks for the photos!! In my dreams....

How do you keep critters / large animals away from the feast of veggies and fruits?

[jal_ut]

The neighbors are pretty good to keep their cows in.
The lion got the deer.
The cat harasses the rodents.
I share with the birds and bugs.
Skunks have been my biggest problem. Traps.

There seem to be quite a few cougars on my boat dock. They don't bother me because of my advanced state of geezerfication. I also have my wife to protect me. She's pretty territorial.

Jal-Ut, it looks like you must weed 24 hours a day. We get good yields but in addition to sharing with bees and birds, we share with the weeds. By mid July, I just give up on weeding. I can't do it in the 100 degree heat.

Beautiful garden my friend.

You had be going as well with the lion......but then I though about it and figured it was just regional slang for a mountain lion.....then you posted and it turns out I was right.

You said you have skunks....what crops do they bother? Corn?

[jal_ut]

Corn, yes. Also, they like to eat my honeybees, and chickens.

Skunks eat bees and chickens? I never would have guessed!

Btw, did you get my pm? Just curious.
