I started dill in the greenhouse, and it was enjoyed by ‘chucks and bunnies once planted outdoors. There may be a small one or two survivors left.<\/p>\n

\"2016-05-22-16-56-32\"<\/p>\n

I think I’m\u00a0going to\u00a0scatter some seeds,\u00a0and cross my fingers. It’s July so I’m not sure there’s time for it to fully mature but I should get something out of it anyway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The garden sage I planted last year is really doing great. Problem is, we don’t use it.\u00a0The bees sure love it when it’s flowering though, so I think I will move it somewhere for them. It and the oregano really took over the spearmint bed, although, I might move the mints too.<\/p>\n

As mentioned in a previous entry, I am rethinking the raised beds and now this adds to that whole thing. Maybe I’ll make a raised herb garden outside the fence.<\/p>\n

The garden is now mostly planted (like I said, it’s July). I’ll get a new photo today. There’s a lot more going on than in the photo below.\"2016-06-05-13-27-19\"<\/div>\n

As mentioned, I’m at war again with the bunnies and woodchucks. There are chipmunks around too. I haven’t seen them in there but it wouldn’t surprise me.<\/p>\n

I’m just about finished putting deer\u00a0netting on the fence all around the garden. This will keep the little bunnies from hopping right through the 2×3 spacing in the fence. I attached it to the fence with zip-ties and staked it down with those landscape fabric staples to help prevent them from going under it. It should help at least.\"2016-06-22-10-45-25\"<\/p>\n

They’ve already been working on it, possibly with some success, but why do they try so hard when there’s plenty of “wild food” around.<\/p>\n

Next step, to spray some kind of repellent around the perimeter, and if that all fails I’m going with electric fence. Bzzzt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
