The last yr we had our garden the deer trashed it. They ate the tops of our peppers and tomatoes, plus everything else we had to sink their teeth into.

I had deer eating apples off the lower limbs on my apple trees..and coyotes too. tried the soap trick, did not work too well... I got some moth balls from Walgreens and drove a stake in the ground about ever 30 feet and tied a tin can to them put about 3 moth balls in each.. sure seemed to work the last 2 years.. the Coyotes did start returning after about 3 weeks.
just refresh them when they evaporate.
just started it again this year

We've tried soap and hair before, it seems they get use to it. Have to try some new things next year. They're welcome to come in and eat now. He's planting food plots. The only things we'll be using to deter them now will be a broadhead or lead this fall.

Is everyone canning or freezing? We got a few tomatoes and some peppers. Made sandwiches with the tomatoes and sliced some of the peppers to eat raw plus chopped some up to freeze. I didn't pick them until they turned red...really sweet.

Might be done picking tomatoes 4 this year. I had 30 degrees at 8:15 this morning. In the past 6 weeks I have picked well over 2 bushels and put out by road. This does not include the 3 to 4 bushel my family put up. Don't remember picking tomatoes this late in the fall. Planted 3 Amish Paste/Roma. WoW did they produce this year. Next year I will give each plant more room to expand. But maybe next year they won't need it.

Cow manure last fall. Epson salts and milk replacer 5 times thru the summer.

Hope your garden's were good also!

Good advice on what you used, thanks! We are still picking alot! They are loaded down with green ones too but Ash and mom are going to pick them all this weekend and pull up the cages. Ashton and Tyler sold the farm that garden is on and have just moved to another one and this is the last weekend there. I asked mom to make me some pickled green tomatoes and some sweet tomato relish then we're going to wrap some up and put them in the basement to ripen out. I've honestly never seen as many as are on those plants! Good river bottom dirt and I hope at the new place we can grow them like that. She has countless bags in the freezer we've just been chunking up to can later. Between hunts and moving a farm no one has had time to can for a while!
Happy fall gardening y'all,
Jen

We had snow this week, the next day, Chuck mowed 3rd crop. Temps are in the high 60s, heavy dew and short days r of course hurting the drying, but it's going to be dry a few more days. The worst part about getting it made is I probably can't help at all. I stepped over Ruby yesterday while turning and that one step was so painful! First, I went to a Chiropractor, but that didn't help so I ended up in the ER last night. Nothing is broken, but I never thought there was. Got steroids, but they're not helping much. Main transportation at this point is a wheelchair. They wanted to give me a walker, but since my collar bone still hasn't healed, I didn't think I should use it.
These GOLDEN YEARS aren't all they're cracked up.to be.

Boy was I wrong. That 30 degrees in my last post only took out the volunteer cherry tomatoes. Since then I have had thin ice form in the dog buckets. Now be leave or not I need to pick rip tomatoes today.

My thoughts: These plants are staked up on 4 Ft. X 18 In. field fence cylinders. The plants are so thick and grown together that ground temp moving up thru keeps the freeze off? (very tips of some show freeze damage)

The weeds in the soybeans froze and are dead and dry. Corn that had green leaves show freeze damage. Double crop soybeans got frosted and are drying.

LOL! Mistory! Or maybe God wants me to keep giving away tomatoes? Your thoughts?

Neighbors and friends might be praying for more tomatoes 😉

Went back to the ER this AM. Woke up.at 5 AM in horrible pain. Told Chuck I couldn't take it anymore. Different Dr same story, the xrays show nothing is broken. At least, he gave me some pain meds and told me to take Ibuprofen instead of Tylenol. He thinks it's the sciatic nerve. Seeing orthopedic dr on Wed and pulmonogist tomorrow, saw an optometrist today after we left the ER and probably chiropractor on Friday depending what orthopedic dr thinks on Wednesday. I hated to go to the optometrist as much pain as I'm in, but I lost my glasses a couple of weeks ago and this is the quickest I could get in. Same as the pulmonogist, I made the appointment weeks ago.
I use to not even go for a yrly checkup...feeling like I'm really falling apart, kind of pathetic.

Just planted peas. Only had 36 seeds in the package. Was told they like cool weather. Ground had a frozen crust this morning. Raked out nice this afternoon so I planted just before dark.
