My vegetables garden

Hello every one,

Here is a picture of my vegetables garden on summer 2010.
My husband, me, and my son built the fence around it so animals can't get in and eat my plants.

I grow different tomatoes, potatoes, beans,squash, zuccini, okra, peppers and anything i can get my hands on. I plant different lettuce and give away most of what i grow when time to harvest.

 

Lovely vegetable garden, Lovetogarden. Thanks for the pics.
I grow vegetables too - and I take their pics :luv:
So I hope you will keep letting us see your veggies.

 

Smashing stuff Lovetogardgen :thumb: What bit of America do you garden ?

 

Thanks guys for nice words. Ziggy, I'm in the South Eastern part of the US.
My summer is hot and humidity can reach to 100's Fahrenheit. Not fun to work outside when it gets to that high, drains your energy quick.

 

All kinds.....rabbits, mole, and mostly deer.

Deer, eat pretty much everything except my Brugmansias, they know it is poison.

 

I know what you mean about the Deer, Lovetogarden.
They came into my last garden and munched everything they could get their lovely lips on. In the end I had to fence them out - big job.
Fortunately we didn't have the rabbits.
If you like you can look at pics of some of my veggies and my last garden in my albums.

 

Deer are the worse pest IMHO. Leap over all but the tallest barriers, and just eat the bark round all the trees and kill them. If they ate a solid meal of one of the trees that would somehow be more acceptable to me. Bit like the Heron and Fish all just left strewn along the side of the pond ... why do they do that? are they fussy about what fish they will eat? Like the blinking fox just mauling the chickens .... hooligans all of them!

 

And holidaymakers coming down the chesil beach in the summer, dragging mackerell out 4 at a time & then dumping bags of them by the litter bins, makes my blood boil.

 

LOL,Kristin...I don't think deer eat the bark of any trees; they are vegetarians-at least the ones we have here. They eat nuts, greens and flowers like pansies, to them it's like candy. They mow my pansy bed in my front yard all the time. The bark on the trees, they scrub their anthers in it.
We have same problem here, they scrub their anthers in my brugmansias trees, my peach tree also. My husband and son hunts so they laugh at me when i'm complaining of what the deer is doing into my plants. They offer many, many times to solve the problem their way(hunting).

 

Ohhh.....Alice, I can't have a neat:lol: well organize garden like yours- I am very messy with all the tools everywhere laying around. I love the looks in yours though.

 

They any good at taking out holiday "anglers"

 

You know a man who is Ziggy!!

I like your veg plot pictures. The plot looks very productive.

Deer like most animals are just looking for food when they come into your garden. If they are destroying your plants in thier hunt for the next meal, the answer is prevent them getting in. Killing any animals should only be a last resort if they are a pest or are dangerous. The animal is only trying to survive.

Only hunt what you can kill cleanly and only kill what you are going to eat. I hope your hubby and son are much better shots than some of the idiots I have seen with guns.

I agree with you Chopper about not shooting the deer. I had them marauding in my last garden and they did terrble damage. We opted to fence them out - big, expensive job. Shooting them is never the answer . As long as there is an ecological niche for deer others will just move in to fill the space of the shot ones, so it's a bit pointless. It doesn't solve the problem.
