If you’d scroll back a few pages ago you’d see pics of that very same strategy enacted by me. Mixed results, I’ve got a Robin that routinely comes in for a strawberry breakfast. After breakfast it tears my beds up while (successfully) searching for worms.
I’m fine with it, live and let live.

So, once you've taken the peapods off the plants they're done right? I don't think they flower and produce again do they? I've eaten most of the good ones already so a few stalks could go and make some room for the sun to get to the purple string beans.

They'll make peas if still flowering even slowly, but the plants bonk in the heat of summer and are prone to get powdery mildew
if no more flowers, yank em, I'd vote

Part of my garden is in 5 gal buckets on my deck. Some fucking thing likes to dig for tasty morsels. I guess next year I need to make screen tops.

Slow start this year, haven't seen a tomato yet. The cherry tree is killing us though, my GI tract is completely over it...
This was basket #1, I picked 2 more since and there's probably a couple more high up in the tree. By the time the birds get the last one the peach tree will have peaked and I'll be shitting myself slightly differently."Your wife being mad is temporary, but pow turns do not get unmade" - mallwalker the wise

Lol, you should learn to make country wine.

Best option so far has been to make clafouti, are super easy flan-like desert. Our hens are on strike right now, 3 of the 9 are broody, so we're not getting any eggs and it's making it harder to bake things (can't imagine buying eggs at the store at this point).
I need more ways to consume the fuckers and making wine is right up my alley!"Your wife being mad is temporary, but pow turns do not get unmade" - mallwalker the wise

I tried to keep it easy sleazy and settled on these two yeasts:
Lalvin 1122 Nouveau for fast clearing (6-8 weeks)

And Lalvin 1118 Champagne for high alcohol content (up to 18%)

The peas were looking a bit haggard today so I pulled the last of them. The wife spent over an hour shucking them, ended up with about 4 cups.
Lillies are blooming in our flower area.
My KQ onions are progressing nicely, I’ve attempted to count them a few times and just usually figure around 140 of them.
I love my wife’s flower garden, it’s going off…

With the summer overnight temps finally here, green things are ramping up. Most are 2 to 3wks behind last year.
June bearing just starting in July
Even the wild strawberries are just getting ripe.
Tom’s are happy
Beans & Peas
Good season for the greens though
Peppers and summer squash.
Raspberries are loaded
Plums and apples are aborting a lot of fruit. Too cold for good pollination I think. Wife wages ongoing war with aphids. Flowers are happy.
Corn putting on height; beets and carrots were sown late, just thinned.

Beautiful pis, hound! Especially the one with the dianthus against the fence. Fine garden!
Gravity, will you save the seeds from the mullein? Maybe be able to mail me a few? I have a meadow I'm working on.Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

That corn won't bear like that will it? Wind pollinated. Looks cool there though...

Shera, I can definitely do that.
I must've eaten a half pound of beans, peas and berries this morning Mmmmmm

Glad I'm not the only one eating raw beans. My sister freaked out when she saw me doing it. I was unaware of lectin and suppose at this point I must be immune.

If eating fresh off the vine green beans is wrong, I don’t want to be right. That said, my guts are a bit sensitive to some fibre, so I limit the amount I eat at a single sitting. We live off our lightly blanched pole beans for 2 months each summer. Mmmmm

Lectin? The google machine is basically telling me that, as with most things, consumed moderately it shouldn't be a problem. I have been quite the phart phactory this afternoon though :shrug:
