Gardening in the Ozarks

Here are a couple of recent pictures relating to our vegetable garden. We've already gotten some yummy veggies and are learning what works and what doesn't. The corn is as high as an elephant's eye and it ain't even Oklahoma. We've got the corn, tomatoes, white potatos, sweet potatos, squash, and pumpkins. We had peas, but they are finished for the year. Something is eating the tops off of our onions. The "salad greens" did not work too well, but we did get a couple of delicious salads out of them.











We've had deer walk right up to our dining room window while we are eating. The other evening, we drove up our driveway to see two deer eating weeds in our front yard. We slowly drove up and would stop every few feet. The deer would look up at us, but it was almost like they are nearsighted or decided we did not pose a threat until we got several yards from them. Then they took off into the forest.
