RE: Do you grow? It is almost time to start seeds!!

in #homesteading7 years ago

Raised beds are exciting...Some things just grow so much better in them and you can control your soil quality. Ugh gophers!!! We have them here too....groundhogs and weevels. Such destructive little guys!
3 tubs sounds like a lot of seeds! I look forward to your progress this year at your new home <3

The gophers are really something. I had a little gazebo out by the garden and watched them work. One day he had a daisy, he was pulling down his hole, it was hilarious. But not so funny is when they decided to eat the roots from my tomatoes and an entire row of peas. I didn't know they would go after tomatoes but he would gnaw the plant off right at ground level and leave me a big wilting tomato plant to cry over.....but screening the bottom of the beds should help.
