I built two new modern-ish raised beds in the spring, and tested some ideas for making the others blend with them. Just tossing some wood around.
Not very efficient, spacewise, but looked good.


The raccoons and several groundhogs tore things up at the beginning, but they were finally chased off.
-Lost 14 heads of healthy lettuce, 3 spinach, half the zuchinni and cukes, basil down to the roots, and several flowering plants before they finally gave up.
-Apparently an outside dog during the day, two cat brothers at night, plus a ticked off human wasn't enough to deter them.
-Cherry tree was eaten by worms. No yield there. The Serviceberry tree fruit in front was delicious(tastes like blueberrys).

Things are back to ok at the end of this summer, and I'm back to hacking paths with a machete.
