It took three weeks, but we finally finished the garden. Just about everyone in the house was sick last week so we didn't get anything done. We have a total of 4 barrels and 5 raised beds. We've got lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, yellow squash, canteloupe, bell peppers, basil, beans (we're not sure what kind...Gabe started them at school),strawberries, oregano, thyme and cilantro. Not bad...Chris also has some peppers to plant that will be used for salsa. You will notice the anti-Jax fencing around everything...the openings on the bottom are very small and they gradually get larger. We put it in with the large openings on the bottom of one of the beds. Of course, it was just enough space for Jax to stick in his nose and dig out all four corners. Last week I was home while Gabe was sick and he and I switched it so the small openings were on the bottom. A few days later I was out and called home and Chris told me he and Gabe had fixed the fencing to keep Jax out. I told him I had already done it...he said "you didn't tell me"...I thought to myself, I thought you'd notice. He was really sick and was trying to help out and didn't notice he had put it back so Jax could dig again. The next day he worked up the energy and changed it again. We were really careful today to make sure we had the fencing on right the first time.
