This chipmunk(s) is burrowing under my square foot gardens. I'm losing my expensive soil. We've tried smoking him out, he's still around. He's making a mess of all the gardens around the neighborhood.
Here's an update on our plants:
We are on our second round of strawberries. These everbearing plants have already produced around a hundred strawberries and we still have hundreds more that are ripening. This has definitely been my best gardening investment. My kids love to pick their berries every morning.
I've replanted my peas. I planted four times as many. I've been so happy with the two varieties I've chosen. A sugar snap and a sugar lace, which both claim to be stringless.
My tomoatoes are HUGE. I am so excited to eat these babies. They will go very well with my fresh basil.
My lemon basil is soooo strong. I wasn't expecting that kind of flavor from such a little plant. The lemon variety grows much faster then the regular basil. I need to find some good lemon basil recipes.
My beans were delicious. Even the kids ate them. I will replant them if I can get rid of that pesky chipmunk. He likes to burrow in the beans. I had to pull them.
My beets, onions, and carrots are almost ready for harvest.
My cucumbers are coming along. They look like little pickles.
My zucchini, squash, crooknecks, have grown so much. I had to pull the pumpkin plant as it was suffocating the rest of the plants. That pumpkin plant was HUGE. With it gone, I hope to see more zucchini.
Recipes coming soon.
