Garden Update

This week in the garden....


I put plastic over the garden beds we were supposed to plant today.  I read somewhere that you can do this two weeks before you plant to warm up the soil.  It’s been colder than usual here, so I thought, why not?
 
Those four different potato plants were all planted at the same time. Go figure.
FINISHED!  We finally completed bunny-proofing the backyard.  (For those who just tuned in, we've been using zip ties to attach chicken wire around the entire chain-link perimeter of our backyard.  We used the indoor/outdoor kind.)  I suspect we are going to find out how much akin to Houdini the artful little fuzzy fiends are, but we’ll see.  The gate needed to be flat against the ground, but movable and so here it is, complete with chicken wire that you can't really see.


Here is the gate from a rabbit’s eye view.  Ha, ha—We are just going to step over it unless we need to get bikes out.
No, the leaf isn't a bunny barrier.  It just happened to be there.
The Magician deliberately chose ironic paper on which to design the gate….


Speaking of the Magician, he had a close encounter with the edger. 
 His remark on the subject: Ouch! 
Her remark on the subject: Do be careful!  (That is for you, dear readers.)

And we didn’t end up planting today after all.  Tomorrow!  There is always tomorrow.
