Your garlic is doing super good. Are those all fig trees in the background?

Yes, I’ve been moving them out. I have a huge collection so it takes a while. It was super cold last night (and will be again tonight with a projected freeze). Luckily none have leafed out yet so fingers crossed they’ll be ok. There’s too many to shuffle!

My husband put my tomato plants in the shed and is going to put a nice thick old blanket over the container trees later today. Tonight is going down to 26 F

Are your strawberries in a raised bed? Just wondering how you prevent them from taking over?

Sometimes I want to replace my front lawn with a strawberry cover crop

You don’t stop them 😂 that’s the thing haha .. you should see my backyard, I had one in a 10 gal once and I let one little runner go to the ground and it spread like a wildfire. I have about 30-40ft of strawberry runners every year

Don't joke.... I saw a raccoon strolling along my back fence after dinner tonight. Big one too. I guess they decided to start casing my property early this year! 😡

Just a thought, if you were to stuff your Yeti custom with straw and tie it up on a pole in your garden that would scare the B-Jesus out of those pesky varmits

You should consider adding electri-fence-ation to your electri-fig-ation :)

I have actually considered electric fencing but my trees are set out in a way that would make it awkward... not to mention that the raccoons around here..... well, you've seen them in action. Big, tough and smart

Here is an interesting video of a guy in Toronto protecting his grapes from coons with an electric fence. Not as effective as I thought it would be but his implementation wasn't quite optimal either... I would have done a few things differently. But still...

I see what you mean. I'd like to erect an electrified dome mesh over my entire property... Do we have anyone in town who does that?

Two nights ago I saw the biggest raccoon I have ever seen walk along my back fence.
Had to remove 5 late last summer. I might need to look into electric fence.
