Just a quick post on the 2019 garden so far.
The garden woven fabric is working wonderfully so far. If it holds up through the year and comes up in good condition we will be getting more for sure. See our previous post about it here: 2019 Spring garden .
Rabbits destroyed the rows of lettuce, spinach, cabbage, broccoli , cauliflower. They ate what they wanted and are leaving the rest along for now. We are at war with them at the moment but they are still winning I think.
The plants have gotten to the point that they are outpacing the weeds which saves us some time. Between the weeds that come up still, the black fabric , and the hay bedding from our rabbits that we added to the rows, the soil is keeping its moisture. It has been very much needed in the hot dry weeks we have had recently.
We have already been eating squash, zucchini , radish, garlic (planted last year) , spinach, peppers.
Our herbs are also rocking and we were able to use them and the garlic with the last of our frozen tomatoes to make an amazing batch of sauce.
So many great things going on. Very exciting time of the year.
Speaking of the war on the rabbits – we have recruited some help. They are small now but once they get some size on them… varmints beware! We’ll share more about Callie the Calico and Ursa the Little Bear, in a future post.

All that saran makes it look like a nursery. We use quite a bit of it at work, but I do not like it. I do not use it in the home garden.

This is our first year using it. We are loving it so far. Saving hours on hours of weeding. With three 50×25 ft beds it certainly is a time saver for us.

Oh yes. It works great. I just miss the exposed soil.
