I;m getting fed up. Blasted deer keep eating everything as soon as its planted. Birds are plucking the seeds out of the ground before it even comes up. My garden is a mess. I have loss two planting of Lottie beans, Seeds my grandmother saved when the government moved them off their farm in 1934. We planted the last 25 seeds in pots on the porch in hopes of at least getting some seed. Altho I did find a new source of the beans, it seems my grandmother had given some seeds to my other grandmothers sisterinlaw and my uncle has been growing them for over 50 years. He has about a gallon of the seeds saved in his freezer. He offered some up, but I am not going to replant them in the garden this year. He also gave me some of the old timey white field corn, dont know the name of it, but they used to grow it for cornmeal. Stalks grow 12ft high and the ears are over a foot long. I had lost that seed to because of the deer. I have 5 short rows up now so It should produce enough corn for meal this year as well as seed for the future. I cant shoot the deer here because of all the houses, but I am thinking about a crossbow in the very near future.
