Thanks,I try to save time.I have one load of composted manure delivered.I plant potatoes where I used the manure from previous.I only uncover beds every other year so only half gets work,the other gets planted in between last year's spacing .I do till and move the cold frame.But it's still only around 20 hours work per season start .And almost no weeding because of the fabric .I have taken down the bird netting on top of the fence as it traps everything that flys,so I will still have to put a top on my deer fence I'm thinking garden trellis .

No it’s definitely cool to see. I think I’m just gonna go with recycled 4x4s and deer fence with a make shift gate. I’m gonna do pepper plants by the three as you suggested in 20 gallon pots. I seen a cool technique where you grow tomatoes upside down in a bucket and cucumbers out the top I’m gonna try. I ordered a solar motion light to spook critters. My garden is real close to woods. I been catching the chipmunks and relocating them to the next town over lol. I didn’t realize I had so many until I put the bird feeders out. Think I got one left but he is smarter so far

IMG_20220508_164006226~3.jpgThis is what's left of last year's haul.Salsa,and tomatoes and pasta sauce and about 48 quarts of soup.Also corn,beans and squash and peppers still aplenty.Add in my fish and Game and I'm producing about half a years food every season.Ends up costing about 1.00 a quart for good food if you recycle jars .I get about 5 quarts per hour for my troubles.lol
