Darn animals

 Hi Everyone!

I'm not sure what animal did this. I can't find any tracks or scat. For those of you who don't know I used to teach remote living and tracking. So, I know what I'm looking for. I knew not to let my string beans grow so tall. I should have pruned them. There were some very long ready to harvest beans at the top. We decided to get them the next day. Well wrong decision.  
The next morning I woke to this.
I don't know if you can see or not but all the string beans are eaten away.
This grow bag is heavy so what ever knocked it over was big. Maybe a deer but I didn't see any scat at all. A racoon that climbed up and tilted it over?  
No more string beans, but I harvested more than 20lbs of beans this year, so I really can't complain.
We got a long hard rain last night so I thought I better harvest more cucumbers and yellow squash.
It has been a bumper crop for cucs this year. And why summer squash is in abundance this late in the season is beyond me, but I will take it. 
I have so much squash and cucs in the frige I will have to can it up this week. Too much for us to eat and all of the neighbors I share with are gone on vacation.
Right now I have canning jars in the dishwasher. It's time to make ghee. I was going to can corn today but it will have to wait until Tuesday.
That's if for now. I hope all of you are having a great Sunday.
