The Critters Are Not Scared

Tim the Scarecrow
 While I was working this weekend, we started to receive fall merchandise and put out our displays for Halloween. I saw this adorable scarecrow and had to buy him. We put him in the garden and named him, Tim. Unfortunately, when we headed out there to plant some flowers today, we discovered some corn had been eaten and knocked down by a varmint, along with some pea and potato plants having been nibbled on. Additionally, squash bugs have gotten some of our zucchinis that are growing. Clearly, the pests are not intimidated by Tim!
\Geraniums and Cosmos
 The garden resource center had flowers available this week. We got some geraniums and cosmos, along with 2 more pepper plants. Below are some items we harvested today, including a nice, large head of broccoli.
Green Beans, Scallions, Broccoli
