The “east” beds…

From most recent to spring…

SO..  this area has been the home to critters as long as I remember.  Ari and Kobie would race here to hunt!  Why did I think that changed!  The area has a raised bed made with concrete blocks for a tomato plant and I thought for carrots but they never got planted.  There is also a pallet box where peppers are planted.. red and yellow and purple.. oh my!!  I started out with 2 trellis put together thinking I could also use it to cover the bed in case of an insect, bird or hail event.   After the dogs nearly demolished the bed I reevaluated and decided to attach plastic fencing to the trellis and create a barrier hoping the dogs (although Jake is shown checking it out!) would get the picture which I think they have.  I rebuilt the concrete bed adding more blocks, added more dirt to both beds and then topped off with straw.  We’ll see!  We were being watched by a cardinal in August!
