Dragonfly Garden
The Vegetable Garden
The Dragonfly Garden is our vegetable garden area. Here raised beds are a boon to dealing with the vagaries of weather and care of edible plants. We designed a hoop system which allows us to use a variety of covers as needed throughout the season. For early and late season we have plastic and then shade cloth and row cover for the rest of the time. We have adapted the Square Foot garden techniques to work in our raised beds.
We have tried untold ways to deter rabbits from sharing our food and finally gave up. There was the year of the "Irish Spring", the year of the electric fence, and even the year of "marking our territory" with urine!
In 2014 we finally got serious and put a chicken wire fence around this entire area.
