Sign her up for 4H! Good that she is learning early! Not sure how thick to plant buckwheat, might try it next year. I may have to expand my garden to the "north Forty" out around the shop, but the deer and the rabbits may figure it out!

Yeah, we had to fence it pretty well to keep the deer out. I'm sure they'd have really enjoyed all this grain. I planted the buckwheat really thick to choke out weeds, then about half of it froze out and died, and the remaining plants filled in and choked out the weeds anyway. So...the answer is, plant it about half as thick as I did, and don't let it freeze!
Marc St Louis:
Almost had a disaster in my garden a couple weeks ago. I went out in the early morning and saw these tracks at the entrance to the driveway, those are my size 13 feet.
I followed the tracks and he ran all the way down to the end of the driveway and then hesitated. Turning right would have taken him through my garden. Fortunately he turned left and went down towards my shop.
Hawkdancer:
I don't think a/the fence would have stopped it!

Had busy day harvesting yesterday.
Susie started early and put up a bunch of really nice applesauce. I was fired from this job years ago for scorching a batch. Now I’m just allowed to pick the apples and sometimes grind them. My wife and our kids love applesauce.
