RE: Homestead Happiness is... eating a meal you have grown / reared yourself
Your veggies look soooo delicious!! I really wanted to grow fava beans this year, but I am glad I didn't try since most everything got eaten up by stupid critters. But, man, I hope to try again next near!
Don't forget the nice Chianti :-)

The bugs and the critters are a nuisance - mainly slugs and caterpillars for us at the moment.
Put cheap lager in some yoghurt pots and bury them in the soil the lip of the pot is flush with level of the soil, the slugs get attracted to it and then drown in it. Diatomaceous Earth is good too. Put it around the plants you want to protect. The characteristics of it dry out and cut the critters so they die.
