Right now my grow boxes only have little seedlings in them. If I am optimistic-- they will look like this some day. Pessimistic? Then the deer will eat them overnight and I will have nothing. I know deer will eat anything but will they eat Tomatoes???
All ten of the Earth boxes have soil and water and plants in them. We are trying something new. Last year's garden--out in the backyard --in the raised beds---- didn't amount to very much of anything last Season. No zucchini. Hardly any peppers. Not many tomatoes. I did okay with berries. Herbs were good. But overall--it was pretty miserable. I don't even know what went wrong. But as an instructor I can say with some confidence--if the soil is a problem--then nothing will grow very well.
So I need to amending my soil. With compost. Cosmic Compost. I need to find their phone number.
So G decided to try the box system. See if I could grow things in them. I am trying very hard to be optimistic. The Deer --have already eaten all the rose buds off my roses. And the Joe Eye Weed is now only short bare stalks. I like living out here in the wild. I just don't like the wildlife.
I see all the squirrels running around and I am reminded of the guys who made that tv show about duck calls--well, their momma loved squirrel stew--especially the squirrel brains. Wonder if they might like to come visit. Do some cooking. That was a sort of joke--don't start sending hate mail.
Now my carpenters would be happy to take care of the deer. And that isn't a joke.
