    What a great garden enclosure, do you ever just go hide out there? I LOVE it. My yard is about the size of your garden so I have my actual fence as it's enclosure, but i wish i had the overhead protection as well.
    Congrats on FOD. I'm heading over to your blog to read more

I have 130 tomato plants, 20 watermelons, 20 cantaloupes, 20 peppers (sweet and hot varieties), zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers and onions! Come and visit my blog at http://fatearth.blogspot.com to see what I have growing!

    Hi, Dave:

    Wow, that's quite the garden setup. You must have had issues with critters in the garden but not now.

    Have a great day in the garden.
