Rigged up a small improvised garden
So yesterday I decided I wanted to plant these Beet seeds I bought the other day. I live in North Carolina now and the weather has been pretty nice lately, though a little cold at night and early in the morning sometimes. This is really my first time gardening, so I started off small with creating a small plot in ground. When I poured the fertilized soil in the plot and evened it out, I poked holes in ground with a stick for the seeds (in a 3x6) and planted a few in each hole. Once I covered them up I was technically done with the planting part, but I needed some sort of defense to keep the animals out...
With 4 PVC pipes, wire fencing (and some wire cutters), multiple zip ties, and some bricks, I made a nice little cage around my garden. I had to be creative and make sure I covered all the gaps so birds can't get in there. I do think the animals won't be too big of a problem, but if they get bad I could electrify the fence.
The Beets will take about 8-10 days to germinate and approximately 60 days to harvest.
Who else has a garden and what are you growing in your garden?
