New raised beds!!

Four new raised beds are being installed in front of the carriage house at Gore Place. These new beds are a little different than the ones near the farm. They are 10 feet by 10 feet and planted in a four square pattern, which I will describe in a future post. The raised beds will be planted with a mix of medicinal, culinary, and ornamental plants.

oh, those pesky wabbits!

The plants Scott planted in the raised beds in April were all eaten up by rabbits. So he planted them again, and the rabbits feasted once more! To keep those pesky wabbits from striking again, Scott has had to place rabbit fences around the raised beds. They're working so far...
