Simple garden techniques described in details so anyone can easily follow through on their end while sharing ideas and pictures on how the garden is progressing through out the year.
Looks like my community garden plot has now become my main garden as both gardens at home now been destroyed by animals. At least it's growing well. Enjoy the show.
I'm still planning on giving most of it to the community kitchen from this garden, but will not be spending as much time or effort maintaining ones at home this summer, at least not till fall crops will go in. Occasional harvest of whatever animals left behind will be posted, but that's about it.
So sad about your home garden. I've had groundhogs eat from my garden in other years, but never the whole thing. Usually they pick something and make sure I never get whatever it is. One year it was squash. One it was beans. But I've never had them take the whole thing down. At least you have the community garden though. And thanks for the tour. It was lovely.
I guess I shouldn't have said "all" - i have potato, tomato, pepper, garlic and onions remaining. Some of the squash plants got mangled but I hope they'll recover. Beans that are on trellis are half alive and I'll keep harvesting them; but bush beans are gone.
Your garden looks great. one suggestion though is to do your video in landscape mode as that is what orientation most viewing devices are (computers, tvs, etc). i am also battling with a groundhog this year. very frustrating indeed.
Fantastic tour - The garden looks great & you have so much variety in it. With the issues you have been having with the critters in your regular garden, it's wonderful that you still have the community garden to fill the void.
Sorry to hear about the groundhog. At least the community garden is looking great. Our community garden has a 7' deer fence with a coated chicken wire base around the bottom and buried in the ground. So far no groundhogs, just the occasional rabbit and snapping turtle that find seams in the fencing.
It looks like your community garden plot is doing wonderful!! I am sorry that the critters are eating your home garden. That is discouraging! Nancy

I've learned that I was holding phone the wrong way after I got home and uploaded it, so lesson for the future :) Good luck with your groundhog too!
