The Red Ripper field peas have made a great recovery from having been munched hard by deer. This is how they looked the morning of September 19th. In the photo I had just put the deer netting over them after the fact. A day late and a dollar short
![]() ![]() This is how they looked a few minutes ago, just 14 days later: ![]() They're even getting a few blooms here and there. I only had enough netting clips to cover four of the five rows so the fifth row was the "sacrificial lamb" but they haven't been touched by the deer! They've either moved on or don't want to be around the rest of the netting. That morning I also put netting over the bed containing the collards, cabbages and four of the broccoli plants and the bush bean bed. The beans are in the bed just behind the field peas. The bed with the kale and other broccoli do not have netting and have been left alone. They're up near the top of the garden and out of view. I am just amazed how fast stuff recovers. ![]() |

One year, I tried growing some sweet potatoes outside the garden fence. They looked wonderful until the deer mowed them down. They did come back eventually.
Good Luck, and give peas a chance... ![]() |

They look great, GoDawgs!
![]() We actually had the last glean of peas for thanksgiving dinner last night, which were planted in April. ![]() We have no deer here but moose do regularly visit... kale and cabbage are their favorite! |
