In an attempt to keep the bunnies from devouring my new garden, I borrowed a fake owl that would surely scare them away. I sat him next to the spinach, looking menacing with his huge yellow eyes and angry eyebrows. But the next day I looked out my kitchen window to see a large rabbit sitting right next to the owl and gnawing on some green bean seedlings, likely chuckling at my ridiculous attempt to frighten him. But despite the owl’s failure to do his duties, he stays put in the garden. I’ve grown a bit attached to him, I think. So instead he serves as a photo subject, backed by a healthy crop of black-eyed susans that match his eyes beautifully.

This is my first attempt at a real vegetable garden and surprisingly, it seems to be going well so far. What’s growing in your garden? Please share your photos with us!

  8. watching a piece on PBS about an Oregon blueberry grower. they use a recording of small birds getting eaten by predator birds and it works for them. I would think any of the bird sites might have something like this. Don't know if it'll work against deer and raccoons tho,
    We have peas, cucumbers, carrots, beets, bolting spinach, dill, tomatoes and new hollyhock seedlings for next year
    peace n abundance,
