Vegetable Garden

Now that the rain has finally stopped, I took the morning to put the finishing touches on the vegetable garden. I used 3' poultry wire dug about 10" into the ground to keep out any enterprising intruders. The space looks a bit small in these photos, but it's about a 10X10' plot that should offer ample room for tomatoes, peppers, herbs, beets, and a few pie pumpkins.

As I may have mentioned before, this plot was taken up entirely by day lilies, which were absolutely nightmarish to dig out. I suspect that they are the garden equivalent of IKEA furniture. You start with just one piece, thinking that so long as it's only one, the choice is elegant and tasteful. Of course, bat an eye and you have an entire MALM bedroom set or, worse, 100 square feet of day lilies.

As I'm not a mature adult, I will pause to mention the 8" tall varmint (pictured above) that made all this work necessary.
