Free food

These photos are from the last few weeks...At one point I thought our tomato harvest would be non existent, and now we have tonnes coming in every day! Not as good on the cherry tomato front this year though. Also think Zantar was eating a few...Glenn has a confirmed Zantar-eating-raspberry sighting.

Since some other folks recently have been imaginative and brave enough to post that they think their veggies look like creatures then I decided to come forward and admit that we do that too....


HELLO!!! I'M MR. CARROT!!! (IMAGINE DEEP GRUFF VOICE)


CONSTANTLY BROODY DUCKS...

SAY HELLO TO MR. BEET!


 


TOMATOES LOOKING GOOD, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE BLIGHT FUNGUS ON THE LEAVES
HAD TO REMOVE SO MANY LEAVES AND IT STILL DIDN'T SEEM TO PREVENT THE SPREAD...THE VINES BECAME SO WEAK THEY COULDN'T HOLD THE HEAVY FRUIT.



Little savoy cabbage-eating monster....


That's MISS Pepper to you....

This other type was relatively untouched. Was really wishing I could let the guineas loose in the garden to go after the grasshoppers...







 
GLENN IS CONCERNED THAT IF THE CHICKENS STAND STILL LONG ENOUGH THE MUTANT SQUASH PLANT MIGHT ENGULF THEM....OM NOM NOM....

WHO NEEDS CHEMICAL FERTILIZER????

VOLUNTEER SQUASH AND TOMATOES BESIDE THE POTATO BED. ALSO SERVES AS DUCK JUNGLE GYM, GARTER SNAKE CONDO, AND BUFFET TABLE FOR FROGS, DRAGON FLIES AND WRENS. THE ADJACENT STRAW BALE STRUCTURE IS FULL OF MANURE AND SHAVINGS COURTESY OF WINNY AND OAK BEAR.
THESE LITTLE BEAUTIES WILL ADORN OUR PIZZA IN THE DEAD OF WINTER
