I spent yesterday getting tomatoes and basil and beans put in and generally pothering in the garden. Since we have a serious deer, rabbit, gopher, squirrel and chipmunk problem here (and the squirrels and chipmunks climb the walls of the house and eat stuff on the upper balcony!) we made a pest proof enclosure for the vegetables. Everyone is now settled in, and of course, we had a storm late yesterday that brought the temps down to 55 degrees. Great, for their first night out. Everyone seems to have survived, though.
The rest of the garden has to be rabbit-proof plants. You will notice, though, that all the pansies have been pruned by nibbling teeth, even the ones high up on the wall.
