Harvest Mondays. This week the harvest was good. It's always nice to walk into the garden and come back with some veggies. I'm struggling somewhat with something that has been eating eggplants and tomatoes, even to the extent of climbing onto the plants and eating veggies that are atleast a foot off the ground. I spent time reading online to find some clue and figured out that it must be either mice or field rats, since they have similar diets as humans. Voles/moles do not eat veggies. I had wrongly assumed that it was voles/holes eating up my eggplants, but I was so wrong. I have come up with an idea to outsmart(I hope?) these mice/rat and will post a blog later on in the week. Here are my harvests for the week.
Yellow Squash and two (bird pecked and why is it rotting?) plums
Green beans and two red chillies
Cucumbers, red bell, zucchini and TWO tomatoes!!
Carrots, 2 radishes, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, green beans, red chillies, 1 tomato
Eggplants, cukes, zucchini, green bell, and lots of green chillies
Red bell, 2 Roma tomatoes(mice/rat eaten), green beans
Sweet banana peppers, red chillies, cucumbers
