Growing Veggies


 

Growing Veggies

We used to have a veggie garden on the side of our house. It was covered with screening and seemed, so we thought, to be protected from the squirrels and chipmunks that roam around our house. But we noticed that many of the ripened tomatoes had bites in them and the zucchini were ripped from their branches and scavenged on the ground.

We had to take down the screening this year when our house was being resided and, sadly, decided not to plant the garden there again. Yet we wanted to have veggies to pick as they ripened. So we planted some in large pots this Spring and spread the pots around the yard instead of in the former space. Maybe it will confuse the animals.

So far we  have been having fresh lettuce for our nightly salads. The cucumber plant is flowering and spreading out so our fingers are crossed that we might have them to eat as well. We can always buy organic vegetables at local markets but there is something truly satisfying about growing our own.
