A few pics of this years garden. We grow in raised beds here because all the soil is red clay. Works better, can compost and mulch it in easier, and not as much bending over. The netting is to keep birds and squirrels from decimating the fruits of our labor, had to put some chicken wire around the bottom of the walk-in enclosure, something (possum) was chewing holes and getting in.

Some unknown soft neck garlic, ALMOST ready to dig! Waksupi, this is the hot garlic you wanted some seed from, so far it looks good!

Black raspberries with the bird nets drawn down, they are just starting to ripen and I do not want birds sh*tting all over the berries so I build cages out of 2x2 and staple the netting to them, leaving the sides so they can be lifted to harvest berries. These canes are really loaded this year..

Thornless blackberries, L@@K at all the berries! Can't believe how loaded they are! I am having to tie back the canes to keep them inside the net.

Music garlic making some nice scapes, you snap these off when they get about a foot long, they are super good to eat raw, grilled, or sauteed in stir fry with deer meat!

Still got my nighttime predator, this is either a possum or a coon doing this, tore an 8"x12" hole in the bird netting. What animal in it's right mind goes through this much trouble for green blackberries? I mean besides the human that is growing them? I have a Harbor Freight wireless ding dong alarm set up and it goes off in the middle of the night, I put out some peanut butter and put a better scope on the pellet rifle, only a matter of time now before he comes around...
