May I ask why the black wire mesh on top of the metal beds- is it to make the beds deeper?

Are the short fences around the raised beds to keep a local critter from snacking? Just curious. I figure it's not bunnies since they don't climb.
That rain today has been unreal. The whole northeast got soaked! It's still coming down here. Apparently 5cm today..... and, one of my downspouts is clogged!
I was not going up a ladder in this mess to fix it.

They are too make them taller for cheap lol. Some bamboo stakes, chicken wire, string (to tie across to fight the outward pressure) and burlapAre the short fences around the raised beds to keep a local critter from snacking? Just curious. I figure it's not bunnies since they don't climb.

Yup! Probably could do it to make raised beds all together tbh. Eventually the wood chips in the bed will sink down and ill ditch em

Wow!!! Incredible. Truly. I have 6 varieties currently fruiting. Most of my trees are still super young. They’ve loved all of this rain though. You have so many varieties!! Geez. That’s awesome.these have figs but I have " bumps on many more

All my mature varieties have fruit except for Mary Lane seedless, she’s struggling. Young trees like Ondata, Smith, Campaniere, BBN, JH Adriatic, VdS, and YLN are still putting on vertical growth.
Fruiting currently but not ripe:
Margarita, Mehdi’s FF, LSU Tiger, WM#1, MBVS, Green Mich, Alma, Deanna, TX Straw, Black Manz, Vince #3, Mega Celeste.

The rain has been crazy but would be nicer if it wasn't a deluge that washes right through the pots then it gets hot with blazing sun trying to wilt them all. You are 4 hours north of me I think which makes about 4 weeks difference. I have a friend in the panhandle that really was 8 weeks behind me in temperature. All the ones with fruit are last year trees and most of them only have 4-10 figlets so it sounds like a lot but it's not that much. Except alma which has probably 200 green figs on it from marble to ping pong size. I'm making jam this year I hope!Wow!!! Incredible. Truly. I have 6 varieties currently fruiting.

Funny you should say that. I have 2 Mary Lane and both have issues and are doing nothing
That’s interesting, maybe it’s the variety? Or perhaps they don’t like the heat/humidity. I’m fairly close to the Gulf, wonder if that has something to do g to do with it.
