Saved Heirloom Seeds

[Erg]

monkeybird: I absolutely dig your set up bud. I have yet move my gardening to heirloom seeds yet. (work in progress) But I've got a humble set up. ;)

Question: any pointers on how you protect your produce? On my property, I've got a Rodney King Riots-sized amount of rats and other rodents who will strip entire trees of their produce within days. I've heard, and have yet to try, the sprinkling of cayenne pepper around the area. Little bastards sniff around and don't want to go any further once they're sinuses are leaking. <grins>

I need help from you experienced gardeners. This is white acre peas (grown in the lower south). I can't bear to thin them. Just can't seem to rip out those beautiful plants. DO I HAVE TOO??



Butter Beans are doing great. Only quite a few of them didn't come up. I think I planted them too deep. So behind them I planted some more, hopefully they will come up and I'll have butter beans over a longer time.



Yellow crook neck squash is doing well.



My tomatoes are doing well. I love to see those little seeds grow.

Hopefully, I have real food later on. I'm worried though because these are from seeds I saved from last year. I hope I have produce.

We also had that storm. I literally beat the yellow flowers off my Carolina Jasmine.

I'll be transplanting them only when they're big enough to stand alone.

Just a little note here Carolina Jasmine is completely poisonous. I know because my daughter and the neighbor boy thought they were honeysuckle and were very very sick from sucking on the flowers.
