Garden..Round 2

On memorial day we finally got our garden planted! Nate had been tilling and getting it ready for about a month. We planted tomato plants, a melon, basil, cucumbers, zucchini, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, and another squash, strawberries, peppers, corn, beans, and broccoli. And here's where tragedy strikes...The next day I went out to water the thing and some of the leaves had been bit off. Then the next day practically the whole garden had been bit off and we found RACCOON tracks in the dirt. Filthy raccoons ate our garden. All we had left was 2 (of 8) tomato plants, 2 (of 4) peppers, and the corn, beans, and broccoli (because they were seeds and hadn't sprouted yet). GRR... so we took care of the issue and replanted our garden. We hope this time no intruders will eat it.

This is what the garden looked like in the spring. 

The work in progress

I forgot to get a picture before we started but this is basically the start. It was such a mess. Even though it doesn't look like it, there was a plot already there for the garden. The people who lived here before us dumped all of their grass clippings on it for the past 2 years


And here's what it looks like today!

The finished product (round 2)

Yes, thats a hawk on a stick in the middle of the garden. After all of that work we are not taking any chances.
