All but one pea plant were chewed off by a critter just about as they

is OK, Raspberries probably will be, blueberries might if the critters
don't get them all, cherries all vanished off the trees while on
vacation for a week or so, and I just (today) planted some potatoes
after finding that someone had left a bag of withered but sprouting
viably seed potatoes at work - might get some little potatoes late off
those, I suppose. Grapes will probably rot or get raccooned, but
neither has happened yet. Creeping towards a more bush-based garden,
for sure. I only have to plant those once, and I still get to marvel
at how the odds stack up against me getting food off them.

I must be blessed . In 3 trips thru the wild blackberries I have over a
gallon in the freezer . And a cobbler in the fridge ... Though I must admit
I've worked my ass off the last 3 months to get to this point - and I think
it well worth the effort - we're starting to see produce from the garden .
Well , more produce , we were getting salad greens for a while before they
bolted . Right now the tomatoes are flowering and ripening , green onions
flourishing , eggplant , cayennes , okra , and potatoes blooming . Green
beans are starting to come off , and the corn is all tasseled out .
