We got most of the north side of the garden planted — watermelon and tomatoes are still in the greenhouse (sprouting)

2024 Garden – Veggies
Today, we planted (from West to East) haricot vert beans, a row of peas, sweet potatoes, and regular potatoes (Masquerade, Harvest Moon, and Sangre from W to E along the north side of the kale island, and Baltic Rose along the south side of the kale)
2024 Garden — Late Start!
I finally got the dirt and mulch spread out in the northern side of the garden — there’s a nice island of kale in the middle, and the garlic we planted last year is growing well in the back. I’ve got potatoes and yams to plant, beans, peas, cucumbers, dill, and tomatoes. Hopefully lots and lots of tomatoes! Oh, and watermelon.

The hazelnut that I have been photographing all summer is finally ripe — the final picture!

Peanut Butter Fence
We got the peanut butter fence up on the farm — Scott and Anya attached the metal strips, and I smeared the with peanut butter. Since they are connected to an electric fence line, the idea is that a deer will lick at the peanut butter (evidently something they really like) and get an unpleasant jolt. It’s a solar energizer, so not too unpleasant. But enough for them to think “I’m gonna go eat this other green leafy stuff!”.
Mulch!
We got a whole truckload of mulch from a local arborist — a lot of pine, so it smells really good.
Garden Fence
And today we added the electric fence around the garlic — it’s almost time to harvest the garlic and get our broccoli and cabbages into the bed
Corn Fencing
We put an electric fence up around our corn on the farm — wanted to document what we’ve got
