This is the first year in many years that the deer have not eaten our hosta buds. We have a few really big patches on both sides of the house. But this year I get to enjoy the flowers for a change. They did eat av few broccoli leaves so I made the cage taller.
I’m guessing a raccoon came onto my deck last night, and grabbed the two almost ripe cherry tomatoes that were growing in a pot there. Took a bite of each one and dropped it. Upon this discovery, I decided to go ahead and harvest the 5 or 6 that were large enough to have on a salad, but still green. They’ll have to ripen off the vine now. I was really looking forward to those little tomatoes. I only bought one tomato plant, and I’ll be surprised if I get enough fruit off of it to break even on the cost for the starter Bonnie plant.
Fortunately, my shishitos are doing extremely well. I pick at least a half dozen every day or so.
