The latest structure features 12 feet of rebar inserted about 6 feet into the ground with PVC pipe on top. This is probably overkill, but the structure will have to survive depredations of the local squirrel gang.

Newest Snow Pea Structure
I am reusing some PVC piping from last year's structure. This will eventually support a plant net trellis that Mr. Amazon is bringing me.
Essential New Garden Element
Will it keep squirrels away or just entertain my son...and...errr...me. I have decided to start collecting whirly lawn decorations as a sure indicator of my middle aged status.

Food of the gods
I don't know who you are or why you are here friend, but if you go near my plants I will feed you to the birds.

Garlic and Deer Skull on Rain Barrel
The garlic did pretty well. Very happy with it. I planted about 8 cloves in the front yard....yup...I said front. The only bad thing is the ground out there is so hard due to the drought and extreme heat that it is very hard to dig up. Next year, I will be planting these things in the raised beds.
Glowing Potatoes
We are getting tons of potatoes as well. I am digging them up as needed, though Bambi has suggested I dig them up all at once. The thing is, when I dig them up...they always look fresh, but when I store them...they start aging.
Super pepper!
Yup...loads of peppers out there. Now I am kind of waiting to see if they turn red. I heard the red ones have more nutritional value. I think I did see a jalepeno going a bit red this morning. Never knew they did that!
Black Eyed Susans
These guys just get bigger and bigger and bigger. I never water them. They spread and feed the birds for me. The ones out front are doing ok, but not quite as well as these due to the extreme sun in the afternoon. I have a plan to spread them all over the front...but it is going slowly.
