Adjam5 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 The last few years we planted tomatoes and cucumbers and basil. We had some grow, but none as many as this year! Ya see, I put my older boy, you might know him as "Squirrellhunter91" on varmint detail. He has done a great job ridding the garden of pests. The chipmonks used to eat about half of the cukes and take bites out of many tomatoes and ruin them. So far I think he has taken about 15 or 16 chipmonks with the airgun, and one woodchuck with his bow!!!....WITH HIS BOW! That boy brings tears to my eyes with how good he is. I should hire him out I now have more tomatoes than we can eat, have to give some away( neighbors love 'em). The cukes we don't share often. Boys love 'em. The deer ate the tops off of the cuke plants early in the season and they got bushy and gave a bumper crop! Joe has really done a good job with keeping the garden clean of rootin tootin varmints. I planted beefstake, roma(plum), cherry and grape tomatoes. Italians don't go too far without tomatoes We are in tomatoe heaven here.

Tominator Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: Garden has exploded with tomatoes and cukes! Very cool. I haven't had too many varmints in the crops this year. Had some coon damage back in July, but nothing other than bugs since. Bumper crop of sweet corn this year. I'm afraid a lot of it will be pheasant food come November.
