That is probably the difference. I have the bare bones plan.

My doorbell will not subdue anyone. Dogster’s dogs for the win!
My Ring equipment is cheaper than feeding that big dog and I don't have to clean up ****.
And Subdue will be the least of their problems. I call it FK AROUND AND FIND OUT.

It's doubtful they'll ever go into attack mode. You are "He, the bringer of food." Critters are smart. They know who's buttering their bread.

someone recently posted a photo of their garlic garden , elephant ear variety , leek
but for the life of me , I cannot recall the name of that garlic farmer…had them in a raised bed about a 6’x 8’ bed
so we got ours done today , 11 rows , about 20 garlic per row
varieties , just three , all Russian hard-necks , two are rated very hot , the other is good in soups
1. Brown Rose garlic….
Brown Rose is a gourmet purple stripe variety that originated from Russia. It has outstanding flavor and is well known for being one of the hottest when eaten raw. The outter wrappers are naturally brown colored, giving this garlic its namesake. Approximately 5-7 cloves per bulb. Hardiness zones 3-8. Bulb size 1.75"+.
2. Lavignia………..a purple striped variety originating in Russia…
Purple Striped garlics are genetically closest to the origins of the garlic species. They are the ancestors of all the other garlic species. They are hardnecks. Unlike most other garlic cultivars available today, some Purple Striped garlic can produce viable ‘seed’ (bulbils) and these garlics evidence the greatest genetic diversity. All garlic species known today originated from the Purple Striped garlics.
Purple Striped garlics derive their name from the beautiful purple striping on the bulb wrappers and clove skins. The cloves are smaller than Rocamboles or Marbled Purple Stripes. The cloves are not difficult to peel, but their clove skins tightly wrap the cloves. This tightness protects the cloves and causes the Purple Striped garlics to last longer in storage.
It is important to know that Purple Striped cultivars must have their scapes removed as soon as they appear. Leaving the scapes on Purple Stripedplants will dramatically compromise the size of the bulb.
Purple Striped garlics are among the finest culinary garlics we have. They possess magnificent flavor – strong, complex and richly garlicky. Generally, they are recognized as the best garlic for roasting.
3.Slovanian……..this one is good in soup…..
Slovakian Garlic & Potato Soup (Cesnaková Polievka)
Adapted from Kuchyna Lidla
Soup
1 tablespoon butter
6 potatoes (about 2 pounds), diced
1 head garlic (about 12-15 cloves), split into cloves and smashed
Salt & pepper
1 bay leaf
1 quart water
To serve
45 Minute Breadsticks
4 ounces gouda cheese, shredded
Heat the butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the potatoes and fry for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup. Split into bowls and top with bread and cheese.

Eight big brown grass puppies. Guess they know it's peak hunting season and that they're safe here. Love watching those critters.

I just love watchin' 'em. There were two of this year's crop that were chasing each other around just jumping and racing around the back field. Good for a smile and a laugh.
I have a couple does that hang out around the fringes of my yard.
They used to come out in the yard all the time, but our newest dog, Rex, likes to bark at them. Ole’ Gunner has never been interested in anything that goes on in the yard.
I once had a fox chase chickens all over the yard. I ran in the house, got a gun, managed to kill the fox, and Gunner watched the whole show from the porch, where he was occupying the swing. Never even offered to bark.
Anyway, all deer are safe in my yard, unless they are over 130”.
