Hey Wixom, give us the details on your perimeter fencing there. looks like a good option. I need to do something like that to keep the critters out so I can actually have a garden that isn't eaten while im at work. looks like it flares outwards too to keep them from crawling in?

keep it up! maters look nice!

its called geogrid and its ment for holding concrete block retaining walls from falling over.like a tie back !!! Its a nylon rope covered with an oil baced tar coating. Its about 6 feet high and 300 feet long !!! The oil baced tar kept most criters from chewing holes through it for the first couple of years but that was it. I also put a 2 foot tall rabbit fence around it last year and seems too have stopped groundhogs from getting in so far. Keepping my fingers crossed but i have had no critter break ins yet !!! 2 years ago i probably cought 30+ critters. Groundhogs racoons skunks squirels possums etc....

Megablooms are just getting started now but they are still to small to take pictures. I can't take close ups like bnot can.

That is a super fine garden! Much better than last years if I remember. I'll be on Wixom watch all summer.

i am curious wixom..this year..are you going to go for maccoy method, first truss blossom or are you going to try some higher up. I know that i will be limited because of time, to 1st truss or 2nd. My method is very similar to yours, so I am interested if you are going to try any higher.
