Good Dirt

Aftet a few years of composting and  cover cropping I think we finally have some decent soil.

Food for the birds

I always find tons of these guys whenever I dig.

I feel like a spider

Pea trellis!

Trellis Netting

Got this on glamazon.com. After trying so many metal and wood based solutions, i am ready to give nylon a try. Lifetime guarantee...made in the US...and relatively cheap. I will attach to my frame with zipties.

Sturdy Construction

The latest structure features 12 feet of rebar inserted about 6 feet into the ground with PVC pipe on top. This is probably overkill, but the structure will have to survive depredations of the local squirrel gang.

Newest Snow Pea Structure

I am reusing some PVC piping from last year's structure. This will eventually support a plant net trellis that Mr. Amazon is bringing me.

Essential New Garden Element

Will it keep squirrels away or just entertain my son...and...errr...me. I have decided to start collecting whirly lawn decorations as a sure indicator of my middle aged status.

Rhubarb

Transplanted rhubarb to a sunny spot.

Food of the gods

I don't know who you are or why you are here friend, but if you go near my plants I will feed you to the birds.

Cover crop & irrigation = rookie mistake

Pull irrigation before cover crop gets too big.
