The squirrels ate everything, and everything the squirrels left, the cats dug up, and every thing the cats left the bad soil left stunted and bitter.
But hope springs eternal in the gardener's breast, so I'm trying again this year.
Parsley and broccoli and lettuce, with onions standing sentry around the outside. The bare spot is where I've planted some peas.
Two boxes of broccoli, red cabbage, and lettuce, again with the protective barrier of onions.
Chard, cilantro, and lettuce, plus some overwintered pansies that may be starting to flower. And our good friends, the onions.
I'm really, really hoping that the friend that told me onions repel squirrels is right. But, just in case, all the white powdery stuff is an organic pest deterrent. (Pepper oil and cinnamon oil and such.)
So. There we go. Spring planting.
(Six-year-old added for scale.)
