my raised beds...

I showed you my new unplanted raised beds a month or so ago, I have planted a few with herbs, one with peppers, one with tomatoes, one with cukes and dill, etc etc. Here's a few pics of my rocks and plants a few weeks ago...





 looks like the store labeled that wrong...





Until this year, I hadn't had a garden in YEARS, so maybe this is normal but it seems my garden is busting out, way more than I expected. I am loving checking it everyday. It's close to the house so I can step out my door and see that the peppers have grown overnight!. And so far no bunnies or deer have eatten a thing. I did three things different than last time I tried a garden and it got eatten by a woodchuck.

I put little pill bottles of vinegar around in between the plants....
I planted onions and marigolds in front of the peas and tomatoes, and there are alot of pepper plants all over...
I have 2 outdoor cats and 2 dogs that pee all over the yard....

whichever one has helped I am grateful for, because the garden is doing soooo well!

 here are some pictures from this morning in the rain...


 there's another new garden ornament....





Isn't it EXCITING!
