  1. Looks like mine -- chicken wire around the whole thing to keep the deer/rabbits out. 

    Super pumped about my new space. 10x10 area out in the yard. We have used the spot as a burn pit too for brush and the like, so the soil should be really awesome. Tilled it all up, laid down the weed paper, then cut out the holes for the plants. Planted: 2 cucumber plants, 2 types of tomatoes, 2 bell peppers (green and orange), zucchini, sugar baby watermelon and spaghetti squash. 

    Really looking forward to taking care of this baby this year. I've wanted a nice garden space since we moved in, but just hadn't found the time to make it happen. It was my number one thing to tackle this spring and I think it turned out great. :)

  2. moved about 60 concrete cylinders that are 1x0.5 from around our pool area to hardscape a garden space out in the yard a couple weekends ago (the nice 80 degree Saturday). Going to use it as a brush pile/burn pit during off growing season. Trimmed trees for spring and burned it all last weekend. Going to till it all up this weekend. Need to put a fence around to keep the deer/rabbits out and all plants go in Mothers Day weekend.

    I am so excited to finally have a real hardscaped plot in the yard for a garden. I've been planting things in random places where I can find space, or in containers on the deck.

    except the westward flow into florida right now. That confuses me why people are so confident on this turn.

    You can wish it all you want, but without a stronger WAR to keep Maria west... it follows the weakness and goes OTS.
