Pieter and Julia enjoyed the first peas of the summer last night. Well, the deer enjoyed the first pea shoots (that Pieter didn't eat first). We got their leftovers. This is the first year we've had a real deer challenge and have started by deterring them with electric fence around the strawberries and new fruit trees. We can't afford to fence in the entire garden. Many rows are covered, but those that aren't seem to be fair game for wildlife.

| The electric fence is powered by a battery because it's so far from the house. |

| Not to be left out, Julia enjoys a pea from her backpack perch. |
