We managed to get somewhere between 250-300 sweet onion plants in the ground today. Burgers on the grill with sweet onion and a slab of a big fresh tomato is on the horizon.

They are delicious! Hubby knows I love them (and he's not a pickles guy) so they always end up on my plate.Never had pickled red onions before but I bet they are good and am anxious to try some.
I hard-boiled a dozen eggs last night, and then discovered several unopened jars of pickled beets.I just found a big package of beet seed I didn't know I had.
I like some critter fencing that @Smokerbill built and posted pictures. Here is a sample...

IIRC, @Smokerbill had problems with deer getting into his gardens, he had considered fencing the entire garden, but settled on individual fencing for the raised beds to protect them. It can be very expensive to deer proof an entire garden, but putting fencing on top of a raised bed for only the plants that need protection can save a person a lot of money.
The fence still keeps the deer out.
One of those deer in the picture is a doe that's been getting fatter and fatter from the fawn(s) she's carrying. Two years ago she had a single one, and last spring she had twins. I'm looking forward to finding out how many she'll drop this year.Yep, I would say you have a deer problem. Good to hear your fencing on the raised beds is working for you.
What kind of pepper? I'm assuming Bell pepper? It depends on how long your season is. 3-12 is a good guess. If they had an indoor home by a sunny window and a grow lamp may 15-20.In a perfect world, does anyone know how many peppers I should get from each of my plants, roughly? Like is it generally 2-3? Or 10+? I'm just debating if 12(maybe more, depending on if I decide to only do 1 per spot this year or do all that look strong like I did last year) of each will be enough.
