Day 2

There's not much going on in the garden yet. I was a little late with the suggested May 15 planting date, but it should be fine as we grew them indoors to begin with.

We went through 3 different styles of fencing until we established one that appears to be most effective. The first year our fence was tall, but the garden was small; it was a successful garden, but we wanted to expand to allow room for squash. The second year we made the garden larger, but the baby rabbits were walking right through the fence (gaps between were only slightly too large) - they ate most everything. Finally our current garden has a 2 part fence. There is a 2' fence that's buried about 6" into the ground....that's to keep the little rabbits out. Then there's the 4' fence to keep everything else out. It's not necessarily pretty, but it works.
