Uh oh. We might have more challenges this year than last with respect to predators. I hope I don’t have to sleep out there under mosquito netting. Nothing is afraid of me, so it probably wouldn’t be very productive, with the exceptions of the “Off!” manufacturers who might benefit. If our neighbor’s peacocks figure out that we have a garden, we’re in definite trouble. OTOH, the spaghetti sauce we canned last year has “pop” according to Mr. Sg. Gotta take the good with the challenging lol!

Helen and Scott Nearing built a stone wall ten feet high to keep the "predators" out of their garden.

Scott said deer won't jump over a wall if they can't see what's on the other side. That's why the stone.

Would help to have a northern climate like theirs, though. I don't think I'd want to be gardening in a place walled off from breezes.
