Larsen Poultry Ranch - homesteading journey

[fuzzi]

Saturday the deer got ONTO the porch and chomped the sweet potato starts. All of them except 2. They left maybe 3-4 inches of the stems, and one had several feet of stem left but no leaves.

Finally got the raised bed they were supposed to go filled and I'm putting the starts in and watering the heck out of them. Hopefully they come back..

Checked the volunteer zucchini, there's maybe 6 growing now, might be able to harvest in a day or so. Figs are ripening. Need to take notes and pictures when we harvest so we can figure out which varieties are best/worst.

I got all the irises that were previously posted moved to one zone in the garden and on the auto waterer. Need to increase pot size for the newer irises and add them to the zone so I don't have to hand water so many things.

I saw where a gardener got tired of losing his crops to deer. He made cages from pallet wood and chicken wire, attached them over his raised bed gardens. No more deer damage.
