(Butternut squash and Sugarbaby Watermelon on the vine, protected from squirrels with the wire mesh and mini bamboo skewers and given extra heat with black plastic bags on the ground over the root area plus cardboard for weed suppression.
It isn’t pretty but it works for us. – grins))
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I like to harvest our vegetables and fruits when they’re ready (and sometimes before they’re ready). Because it is fun. And because…squirrels. (grins)
This means we’re harvesting a little bit at a time and that doesn’t seem like a lot but over the length of the growing season, that adds up.
This year, we tracked those mini harvests.
And we were both surprised at the total. We didn’t think we harvested much of anything. But we had. We simply hadn’t noticed it.
Track your harvests. Especially if you harvest daily.
