One night with the squirrels, raccoons, skunks, dogs and rats in our neighborhood and all you'd have left is compost.

Wow really sucks, Lloyd. We have a wild rabbit problem around here but appart from that it's quiet. We also have a garden in some containers. In an apartment, you can't garden like you want. 😢

Thank you 😊 i haven't worked since June so I've spent A lot of time in this garden next year rows are going to be lengthwise. Setting up six rain barrels hooked up to a timer then hooked soaker hoses to each. Save my water bill!

Yes great idea on the rainwater - water bills can get pricey really fast!
What do you have growing in your garden?

Awesome garden! I too garden as well. It's a small space but I manage to have flowers, veggies and herbs. My houseplants spend summer on the patio as well as the CPs. Only the more fragile stuff stay in my grow room.

I'm really pushing the carrots and beats they keep well when you blanch then freeze. Also want to do some pickling. Right on! This is a small space compared to last years garden 100' X 50' only used half of it. 5 50' foot rows and 3 20' rows it was masive and a lot of work.

Nice set up, it looks like a lot of work.
We just finished harvesting our garden. I got tired of battling the critters and now I only plant garlic. Plant it in the fall, harvest in July, no pests, just weed it every few weeks. Two 4'x4' plots gives us enough Ontario grown organic garlic to last an entire year.

I am growing almost all the same things but I gave up on Broccoli and Cauliflower too many cabbage moth caterpillars. |
