Our garden is in its third year. These are the current plots/plants as of the start of June.

The goal was to have some form of soaker irrigation in place by the start of the month and we’d accomplished that, though it left much to be desired. We’ll be improving on that for next month - one branching topology experiment is already in place and working well.

The strawberries and beans have been getting wrecked by pillbugs and the tomatoes have been getting wrecked by whiteflies and aphids; the other goal for next month is introducing some predators and pest control.

    Do you get a lot of rabbit based invaders in your plants? We have a few local ones and I always worry that if I take a crack at this most of my goods will just get nibbled on.

      We did; they pretty much obliterated the strawberries for the first couple years. We now have chicken wire along the bottom of the fence the whole way around the garden and it does wonders for keeping the rabbits out.
