I canned 62 quarts of these little heavenly delights "http://imageshack.us" These are pickling cucumbers."http://imageshack.us" The zuccinni grow almost over night "http://imageshack.us" Pumpkins "http://imageshack.us" This is Peruvian corn known as maz morado.

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

I didnt compost at all. I visited a local turkey farm and bought a truck load of manure and spread. It worked! I grew a jungle this year haha

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
