Garden update

And now, for your early June garden update:

Nothing really to report in the produce department-- nothing in the garden is quite ready to harvest yet. I have a couple of strawberries that are just-about-almost turning pink and the romaine lettuce is getting a little-bit bigger, but everything else is just drowning in the soggy, mud muck that is the raised beds.

I do have some wildlife updates. It appears, though it may be too early to tell, that the deer fence is working. Now, I know they might not be coming in the garden yet because there isn't much to eat, but last year, they were munching on our starts from the very beginning. Success, full success.

However, we are fighting a slow, losing battle with the slugs. They are gross, icky, goopy and eat anything green they can get their grubby little mouths on. I've heard that beer kills them. They are attracted to its sweet hoppy taste and then they fall in and drown. Go figure that I would have to waste something I want to drink on those little slime balls.
