Very happy to discover blood root in full bloom after being transplanted again. It likes it here!

Witnessing plants i put in make a come back is causing a huge wedge of happiness in my heart.

I am rigging up a new deer proof vegetable garden. I've got a plan that i believe will work. Now to gather materials.

This afternoon i put up a pvc hoop to test actual paper plans out in the real garden space. I will add more ribs, build a door entry on one end bracing hoop ribs and cover with deer mesh.

This is the new garden location, cleared away decayed stump wood ( used as mulch along rose of sharon hedge planted last year). Tried out pvc hoop. Yes a 20 foot section makes a nice arch. I'll use wood doweling i reclaimed and set screws to join 2 10 foot sections of pvc. I pounded in 4 ' pieces of rebar to support pvc. See picture,

First tilling with honda tiny tiller workhorse ( me too). I'll need to introduce nitrogen to soil that has a lot of woody compost material. After this settles, a good rain dries up i'll till again, rake it out and plant. In the mean time i'll begin the deer proof shell hoop. Feels good to be moving on this project, so looking forward to a beautiful enclosed kitchen garden. Marigolds planted along outside border.
