Ever since we moved to our current home in the Pacific Northwest, we haven't had a successful vegetable garden. The growing season is short, the soil is hard clay and deer love to frequent our property, looking for whatever we've planted for their dinner.
This year, we are going to succeed. How's that for a positive attitude? The plan is in place. We spent the day today pricing different fencing materials. We're going to have a 6 foot fence all around the garden. (deer can jump really high!) We're going to make raised beds and fill them with suitable garden soil. We can't do much about the growing season but we'll focus on plant varieties that ripen early.
I'm sure if we price everything that it will take to produce a modest crop of vegetables, they'll be the most expensive veggies ever! Oh well, with the infrastructure in place this year, hopefully we won't have to do it again in future years. I can't wait to begin!
Sorry deer...you'll have to find some place else to eat!
That all sounds great! Hopefully it will all taste great as well, after all the effort you put in it.

Hopefully, it will stop raining eventually so we can actually work outside! Oh the joys of living in the Pacific Northwest!
