2 Stella cherries, 2 lapins cherries and 2 Elberta peach trees planted. Fall garden boxes are doing well too.
Do you have deer in your area? If so, wrap each tree in a 6-7' high fence of some kind. I've had mine nearly destroyed by rubs during the rut and tops eaten out in the winter when they are looking for food.2 Stella cherries, 2 lapins cherries and 2 Elberta peach trees planted.

I planted two peach trees last year and in the middle of the night, had the deer destroy the center sprout of one of the trees. I was going to prune around this center to get the lowest branch point high off the ground, but that's out now.I do and noted. 12 gauge will work nicely too.
You just havent lost enough garden yet. I have given up trying to convince deer to stay out of the garden. but lead never fails me. If the neighbors want to bait them up, I feel its my duty to finish the havest.I planted two peach trees last year and in the middle of the night, had the deer destroy the center sprout of one of the trees.

I have a 12 ga also, but I don't hunt deer. I DO love deer meat though. The problem in my area, if I were to shoot one, nice does in my area, they would go off and die in a neighbors yard. Don't want to traumatize any of the kids. "Mommy, he shot Bambi".
What variety are those peppers sonny? Sweet I'm guessing. Look like the giant Marconi type I grow.had to dig the sweet potatoes,--damn mice are trashing them! -- dont normally dig them for over a month yet!
Been also makin some green pepper relish. The late planted donated plants really took off and are loaded with these guys.
Let them mature to red. We slice the lengthwise and use them in cheesesteaks or peppers and onions and sausage. My most popular pepper my campground market..Giant marconi is the variety.
