There are pictures of my garden on the one that started last Friday. Johnny put them on there for me. I think maybe now I can post pictures myself.
If you have read much on there, you know I only started trying to grow plants about last March. Freaking squirrels and birds and insects/crap in the ground killed everything I planted, so I studied and now have a producing container garden and a “net room” in the garden with containers in it so freaking squirrels and birds are out of luck. I have been hoping the squirrels would commit suicide since they can’t get in the net room to destroy my food plants.
