gave up on trying to save what's left and mowed over that sweet corn patch. Something ate the corn stalks not too long after they sprouted. The squirrels are ignoring all the rubber snakes in my two peach trees and stripping almost every peach. We have managed to get maybe a bushel of peaches. But, my cages I made to protect my new strawberry plants seem to be working great. Tomato plants are loaded, but the only ones that are starting to ripen are on a grape Tomato plant. We have an abundance of cucumbers, squash, green beans and bell peppers. Melons are looking good, but it will be awhile before they're ready.
