Looks like you’ll still have some good garlic to use. It’s been an off year here too. We’re still getting plenty but not like in years past. Way too hot way too early with limited rain. Our plants are stunted as a result.

40 acres of peas down the road from where I was working, thought I might catch them picking but they were gone when I left for home.

That’s a beautiful picture!

@Timj the raccoons have found my sweet corn! They haven’t got it all but they got enough. I haven’t caught them…..yet. I’m thinking about your hot wire idea you mentioned this spring. Have you used a solar powered fencer? I see they have them at our farm store.

Oh man, Coons are tough on sweat corn.

We used a solar fencer for a while, it was a small all in one unit, it lasted four or five years. It didn't seem as "hot" as the electric one but it was small. It worked on the deer, we didn't have trouble with coons so maybe it kept them out to. I see ones with bigger panels and a deep cycle battery. They must be Hot enough because some guys I know that move trailers of bees around to the fields use them to keep the bears out of the hives. If I run across one of their setups I'll get a pic.

That pea field is just chopped up vines and dirt now

A freind pickes 300 cucumbers and your going to bring some home. Your wife throws a hissing fit and says don't bring home more than you can eat because you already have to many projects. Making dill pickels are on my bucket list and there is no way I will be coming home with just a handful. M is an artist and loves pretty colors. I know how to sneak a bunch of cucumbers into the house when offered cabbage, broccoli, bassel, and a few cut flowers, M softened up when presented with a 40 cucumbers displayed elegantly on the kitchen table.
