I cooked them in the brine but it’s not a recipe for canning. Just for the refrigerator.

More jalapeños Made some pickled jalapeños, carrots and onions

Cherry tomatoes are finally here 😊 Blueberry tomatoes are almost ready Hoping the larger tomatoes and paste tomatoes have enough time to ripen before the first frost.

Picked some tomatillos and made salsa verde!

A few flowers from the garden.

Quick stop for a Ripley burn off

I think the electric fence is definitely helping. I was finally able to harvest some ripe tomatoes!

Also harvested some corn!🌽

Some flowers from the garden 🙂

Yes it came with a voltmeter and a ground rod. I got it from the link I posted in this thread a while ago.

I was finally able to set up an electric fence yesterday. I only got a couple 100 ft rolls so it was not enough for the entire garden. If it seems to work, I'll get more rolls. Crossing my fingers!

Yes, as Eddie said, the traps have been helping. The netting has also been helping up to a point. I tried putting netting over the zucchini and the squirrels just made big holes in it and still ate everything inside. While I was waiting for the electric fence, we decided to try some motion...

I put some netting over some of the peppers and they were able to recover a bit from the squirrel damage so I was finally able to pick some! Shishitos and a few jalapeños and serranos.

Also picked a good amount of basil. Finally found something the critters don’t want to eat. Time for some pesto!

Dug up the rest of the potatoes about a week ago. Got maybe 20-25 lbs of each variety. Not too bad since I lost about 10 feet to the critters.
