Deer Fence

This is what it takes to keep the deer at bay. As we began putting seeds into the garden we knew we would have to protect the emerging plants somehow. We had already put a net fence around the garden but at least one deer was still getting in. So now we are having to put fencing inside our fenced in areas to keep their garden visits to a minimum. We are also using fishing line about two to three feet high to trip up and deer brave enough to enter the garden. I'll let you know how well it works.

Spring is Here

Happy spring to everyone! While it may be hard to spot them all, we have plenty of cold tolerant vegetables in this small garden bed. We have spinach, rhubarb, claytonia, and plantago. I think there is also a carrot in there as well. A new one we are trying this year is corn salad. It's also known as mache or lamb's lettuce. We're getting it planted before it gets too hot for it to grow well. As always, we'll keep you updated with some pictures in the future.

Getting Ready for Spring

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We've already got some of our seed started to they can go out the moment all frost is past. Some of the plants we're trying this year are kale, honeydew, corn salad, peanuts and radishes. Some barley has already been seeded into the garden as well. We hope to bring you some pictures of the garden in the near future. Catch you later!

Betting Big on Barley

Our order of barley came in today. It will be our main crop this year. The main goal with the barley is to cut the grass before it has dried and use it as hay instead of letting it become straw. We will also let some to the barley mature to make sure we have enough seed to plant it out again if the rabbits and guinea pigs like the hay. We'll keep you updated on how it goes.
