Deer & Flowers
These were our Soy Bean plants before they grew another foot and begun to flower. Not only have the deer eaten all of the flowers from the Black Eyed Susan we planted (not the native ones), the Coneflower, the squash, and some flower we have not yet identified but they also ate the tops off of all of our Soy Bean plants! I'm hoping some will come back. Oh well, better luck next year.
The Sugar Snap Peas in this picture are from a month ago. They now stand 3 ft. tall. The peas are sweet and delicious!
I'll post some updated pictures of the garden next week. Our Sweet Corn is over 3 ft. tall but the ornamental is still less than 2 feet. The bugs have gotten to our Basil but I was able to pick some for our spaghetti sauce. We have lots of spices now. Our Tarragon is over 3 feet tall and I don't even know what to use if for.
This year we are going to dry some herbs and make herb flavored butters and oils.

Tarragon is great on roast chicken.
Sorry we faded last night but I love the pictures of garden. Sounds like everything no eaten is growing well. I don't know how to dry so let me know how it works. Check daisydew and see pictures of yarrow and black-eyed Susan from your garden. Spreading cedar cuttings around plants has detered some eating of my garden vegetables.
