On Friday, I arrived at the plot to discover my beautiful swiss chard that was nearly ready to pick was gone. All of it…
dinner for deer
I was really quite surprised because I hadn’t seen any deer and just didn’t even consider deer coming close to the city. We have a 4 1/2 ft. fence around the community garden but it clearly won’t keep deer out! As far as I could tell, my swiss chard was quite filling because I didn’t find much else disturbed.
On the bright side, I picked my first kohlrabi of the season! And I put a few more things in: bodacious sweet corn, crock neck squash, sweet banana pepper, habanero, cayenne hot, hungarian wax hot, marigolds and zinnias.
