You will be eating for a long time on all of that produce. I cannot grow edibles unless I really want to feed the ground squirrels around here.
Oh and for future, the rules are for 3 pics per post. When you have more to show, submit 3 then start a new post for the next 3, etc.

We have ground hogs (wood chucks) around here to contend with here but my dogs do a pretty good job of keeping vermin away


One morning there was a wild turkey in the garden! Wish I would have had a gun ready LOL

sheep manure should work good too, I guess it does for you :)

I dont use cow manure because of all the weed seeds you have that gets passed thru. It makes it a full time job pulling weeds and I hate, really hate pulling weeds all the time LOL
