Ruined Crop

There will be no zucchini for us this year.
No zucchini bread.
 No fried zucchini.
No zucchini cakes.
No turkey zucchini meat balls.
No zucchini lasagna.
Nothing.
Zippo, Zero, Zilch.

The geese ate all of it.
See. There is barely a leaf left.
I planted four zucchinis this year.
There was going to be a mega harvest, now there will be none.
I was even preemptive and put a fence up. A cute plastic coated green one (thanks mom!) rather than the chicken wire we use around our other vegetable gardens. Well they could fit their heads through. And they devoured it. There is also a cucumber planted at the end of the raised bed. They left that alone.  

 

Moral of the story, use the ugly fencing and geese don't like cucumbers.
