Happy New Year! I wanted to start things off with a quote I thought applied to the sport of growing these things we call the Atlantic Dill. For 2012 I'll be growing in two areas, the same spot as last year and in a new area I cleared out last October in the SW corner. Two AG's can be grown in that new patch and have 30ft by 30ft each. I can also fit in a field pumpkin and still have room to spare. Last year I grew Sugar Pie pumpkins in this area, however..........It got hit by deer on more than one occasion. That's going to take a small investment in heavy duty deer netting, a fox decoy? and scent deterrent of a special kind an avid hunter (Dale Roberts of Keizer,OR) recommended. Good Luck to everyone!
