    Let's hope so because the deer broke into my neighbor's garden. They have chicken wire but he hadn't put up a door yet so they just wound the wire around to shut it. Well the deer figured out how to rip that open. They ate up the peppers, part of tomatoes and the greens/lettuce. Ate almost all the heads of lettuce. They aren't too happy. Lol!!! :-x

    Well the stuff in my garden isn't doing too well. I'm thinking it's the dirt my husband had delivered. It's supposed to be garden soil. Not sure what to do. :/

    Not to fret,..some so called garden soil can be too devoid of nutrition so just add in a bag of compost,..trowel it in around the plants first then further around,..you could add liquid feed also.

    Thanks. I want to make a compost pile too. I'll see what I can do. I hope it all doesn't die on me.

    I have been trying to talk my husband into a vegetable garden and using our dog kennel fence around it, the dogs hardly use the kennel and it would keep the rabbits and deer from getting at things....I like your idea, I hope you have a good harvest..

    Thanks! My friend is using the old dog kennel area for her garden and it's doing very well. Much better than mine is! :)
