Digging Potatoes

Our garden (also known as the Deer Garden) has been taken over. The deer have had a great time eating every thing they can find.


Exhibit #1 - There were once bell peppers here.













They somehow missed the budding strawberry.














The garden had pretty much been worked over and nothing had a chance to grow. But guess what Deer?



We still have potatoes!












Dallas and Lin-Ley started digging up the potatoes.












Little potato.













Itty bitty potatoes.













I am not sure how Lin-Ley's winter time, suede boots became her gardening boots...














Tru finally joined in on the potato hunt.


























We managed (OK - they did all the work) to collect a whole "truck full" of potatoes (and a few onions too).








































On the other side of the house (outside the deer territory) we have some zucchini, squash, melons and pumpkins growing quite nicely.

























Baby Ground Hog is back. This time her flower of choice is the Petunia.
The yellow arrows point out each stem where a Petunia once grew.













And now some shots by our beautified (with what's left of the flowers after Baby Ground Hog's latest visit) front porch:

Wish I had a green thumb! :-( I'm not very ambitious when it comes to flowers and gardens. Maybe someday....
