I guess slugs don't like spicy food!Crunchy Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-62392983117774240962016-10-16T22:53:51.907-07:002016-10-16T22:53:51.907-07:00We had a really wet year on the east coast, and it...We had a really wet year on the east coast, and it seems like most of my garden was destroyed by slugs :( The only things that did well this year were hot peppers (jalapenos and tabasco), and a couple of my cherokee purple tomato plants. I seem to have fusarium wilt in my one sunny bed, so need to solarize it next year and make some more beds!

I was really surprised at how far down into the ground it went considering there was pretty much no growth topside. I'm super jealous of your hazelnut bush - I've wanted one for a long time. Hopefully there will be a nut in there somewhere!Crunchy Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-75694256093581536542016-10-13T17:54:22.679-07:002016-10-13T17:54:22.679-07:00I didn't do an annual garden this year because...I didn't do an annual garden this year because we were out of the country for most of the summer. However I've been moving towards a mostly perennial garden for a few years now, and so we do have some produce. Got some fall raspberries last week, and the rhubarb plant still has quite a few ribs on it. The pears and apples are finally done. I was very tired of pears.

I had big plans of making pickles and relish this year, but we just had enough cucumbers only for eating. Same thing with peas. I planted a ton of peas, but only had enough for eating, not freezing.Crunchy Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-27575449070312995602016-10-12T10:20:48.272-07:002016-10-12T10:20:48.272-07:00I had a very pathetic garden.

I had tossed some veggie scraps to the chickens last year, and this year we had spaghetti squash, pumpkin, and acorn squash growing in the chicken pen. I also had a bunch of cherry tomato plants grow up in the old compost pile. The garden I actually planted had a yield of two heads of broccoli, 1 1/2 Judy Saundershttp://slowfrugaldeliberate.comnoreply@blogger.com
