Too late

There are still flowers but it will be too late. It is supposed to get down to 33 degrees Thursday night before warming back up later in the week.

And everyone of these plants has been chewed on by the deer.

The top left is the pepper that had been overgrown by the tomato. Once I uncovered it a few weeks ago it produced two peppers that got a little bigger than a quarter when the deer ate both. Now I see there are two more very small ones near the ground.

Top right is my last producing tomato plant. There are four green ones left on it. Not sure how many the deer got but you can see the stems where the leaves are gone.

Bottom left. Beans for fertilizer so no loss.

Bottom right. Squash. I think we have had two from this plant all year and now they start to produce. Not sure if they are big enough to use or not.

DEER

After they took a bite out of two of my bell peppers a few days ago, I took the last pepper from that plant in. I also took the two largest gypsy peppers in but left the smaller ones and the deer hadn't bothered that plant yet. Yet. They have now. Unlike the bell peppers where they took a bite and left the rest. The gypsy peppers are milder and they ate the whole thing. Plus a whole bunch of the leaves.

They also took a bite out of an egg plant but I guess they don't like that any better than we do.

Not sure what I can do about the deer. Glad they weren't this bad all year.

LARGER GARDEN.

I finally rototilled an extra six feet around two sides of my one garden tonight. Then as long as I was there I started to rototill the existing garden. Started. Until the rototiller quit working on me. Motor runs. I'll have to look at it but I'm guessing it will be taking a trip to the shop before spring.

Looks like I might be getting all my melons and squash in tomorrow. Just need to remember before dark.
