I am pleased to report that I have one dozen pea plants. In a garden of some 1250 + square feet. BUT !!! I finally got the last corner fitted with chicken wire, and now I just have to roll out, bend and zip tie, that last side + a few feet around that last corner to the gate. Two feet on the ground, two feet up the fence. 4 ft. wide chicken wire is a drag to work with. But we learned our lesson about shortcuts and now I’m going for overkill!

This has taken forever. Didn’t help that Mr.L won’t help. And he used to be so into gardening!

I’m glad I didn’t have much in there though because yesterday I found a stray groundhog inside the garden. That got me getting back to work on my fence. It’s been a giant pain, but the critters around here make gardening pointless and heartbreaking unless you build Fort Knox. Nearly done.

*APPLAUSE* I hope it makes a big difference for you!

I am blessed to have very few critter issues. I think having two cats roaming the perimeter of the garden and house yard at night makes a difference, though the chipmunks always help themselves to the strawberries and the platform bird feeder. ;)
