Last spring Hubby built two raised beds for the garden. they're 4 x 10. I have to say that the raised beds do better than just planting in the ground. He thought about making more this spring, but I talked him out of it Maybe next year. I keep saying that we have to cut back! Everything seems to come in at the same time and it's hard to get everything done every day along with all of the regular ordinary things that have to be attended to. I have two bushels of picked peppers that need tended to and I don't know how I'm going to find the time, but I'm going to get them done!
Oh and back to my green and wax beans that I've planted three times. I've felt from the beginning that it's rabbits. SO I've sprayed and sprayed the stinky Liquid Fence around the perimeter of the garden religiously and also around the beans. And we have an electric fence. I also made up rabbit sprays and used them. I sprinkled crushed egg shells around them. I was in that garden most of the day yesterday and the beans looked good for being the third round. I go up this morning and once again, most of them were eaten!!! ONLY the beans! The sweet peas and lettuce are in the next row and not touched, nothing but the beans. I'm done, let them eat them and enjoy them as long as they let the rest alone.
