I am determined to get a rabbit proof fence to put along the existing one so that I can get a crop of peas and beans, and not have big bites taken out of my lettuce this year.<br /><br />Thanks for your compliment on my train track layout.

I love it!Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617616424270708150.post-9290236601163403462011-03-07T03:38:40.479+00:002011-03-07T03:38:40.479+00:00So sorry about your garden--we have squirrels and ...So sorry about your garden--we have squirrels and a woodpecker that we are "dealing" with.
