My Garden!

SO since I have all this time on my hands, I decided to put a garden in my backyard. My roommate, Jamie, was excited about it too, she bought seeds. The one day we went to Home Depot and bought wood and dirt to put a box back there and fill it for the veggies. So here's what we ended up with for our box of dirt.



A couple of weeks later, after some rain and being couped up inside, I decided it was time to plant my seeds and already grown peppers and tomatoes. So After planting the tomatoes, peppers, beans, lettuce, rhubarb, strawberries, green onions and carrots, I took some pictures!

The marigolds are to keep the cats out. Hope it works.

My roommate just told me the other day that the marigolds don't keep the cats out. or it could be that they are dying.

So there are an enormous amounts of cats that roam around the neighborhoods. It's so frustrating. They have ben coming in my backyard and digging in the garden. I thought the marigolds would keep them out, but the other day, Jamie saw them digging in the garden. She scared them off before she went out to work. So if you have any ideas of how to keep them out of the yard, PLEASE, I beg of you, PLEASE let me know!
