Garden of Dreams


 During the pandemic we decided it was time to start a vegtable garden that would be protected from the animals that roam our property. Previous year attempts at growing flowers or vegatables had been hit or miss, mostly miss. Deer are plentiful in our area, along with all the smaller critters which have always wreaked havoc on our vegtable gardens. 

Starting from a simple drawling, the 20' by 16' garden would be enclosed in wire mesh and at least 6 feet high seemed like a good start. It has slowly evolved into these photos below.  This past season I've included a few Bonsai Japanese maples, one which had been growing for years. At the beginning of the season I potted it up and and will be training it's branches thru the coming years as it becomes part of the garden.
