We've harvest our first cucumbers this week.
Plus some nice leaf lettuce to make a pretty good salad.

Dozens of green tomatoes—none have turned red yet.
Maybe a week.

We also draped chicken wire over the top of our raised beds.
Bird netting keeps ground dwelling critters out. The chicken wire is to block intruding squirrels.

We shall see...

We don’t have much varmit damage. Squirrels and rabbits never come in the garden. Every couple of years we have a groundhog which can do a lot of damage so we keep an eye out and eliminate them. You are definitely a few weeks ahead of us.
