Victory Garden 2012

[vintage hunter]

A very late frost the last week of April claimed most of the friut crop here. One thing that did escape were the dew berries. They actually came in rather early this year. Potatoes and sweet peas have done their thing already, quite good yields this year, a bit over 3 bushels of taters and a peck and a half of the peas. The sweet corn is ready, what of it survived the squirrels. Last year the little buggers waited until it was ripe before raiding it but this year they chewed the stalks down way before it put on any corn. Never had them do that before. Tomatoes and squash are late, could'nt seem to get the squash seed to germinate and the late frost got my first batch of tomatoe plants. String beans are coming along well, expect the first crop to be ready in about another week.

JM, post a photo of whats left, if anything, of the tomatoe plants that have been nibbled on.
There may some tell tale signs left behind as to what it was that worked them over.

Nothing at all left!

I may end up with a bunch of shelly beans if the OT keeps up. Haven't visited the tomato plants in 2-3 days.
