Garden Update 6/1/12

This past week, I planted EVERYTHING outside!!  Hooray!!  All done!  Now to sit back and enjoy the harvests :)  Easier said than done!lol! 

I'm very excited this year, as my fencing has changed to exclude deer... I ended up with 7 feet of fencing around my garden #1.  It's rebar and PVC pipes to hold the deer netting.  Also, added bright strings around the fence, as the netting blends in completely and I read that deer could bump into it unknowingly.  Within the deer netting is my regular 2 feet netting to keep bunnies and other critters out.  Since I've tied the top and bottom of the PVC pipes, I can remove the lower ties  to get into the netting and over the 2 feet fence!  Not the easiest, but atleast, we can get to enjoy our produce.  Keeping my fingers crossed.....

Garden #1 has 3 containers of potatoes, 2 containers of fenugreek(for leaves), peas, brussel sprouts, carrots, beets, turnips, white radishes, cilantro, peppers, 2 tomatoes, 2 rows of onions, 4 rows of green beans, 1 row of okra.
