Veg plot in high summer

Various views of the community garden


JGH, fishing lines keep the deer out


LOTS of cherry tomatoes. Sweet as candy.


This pumpkin is a volunteer on the garden's compost heap.



A version of Vivaldi:

Ah, you have the sun...we are kind of on equal growing with you, though you are a bit ahead of us. We discovered 'volunteers' for the first time this year; our garden is full of them! But our squash have yet to meet the magnificence of yours.

Very nice, Tut! How many plots are there?

Glad to hear that such a simple solution is working to keep out the deer! I've read that they have no depth perception and it's very hard for them to tell if they're going to crash when they jump over something. I would think that a thin practically-invisible filament would really add to their confusion.

Those tomatoes look delicious and the pumpkin is gonna be awesome!

mmmm....cherry tomatoes! And great( if but a bit quick )Vivaldi interpretation. Love that piano!

And never thought to use fishing line to keep the deer at bay. Some folks I know had a secret ingredient, but I'll not let on here( it's pretty yucky! )
