My hello (intro post)

[moonhare]

I started gardening again last year after a long hiatus. This called for clearing out the old plot, felling some trees and removing scrub and whatnot, as well as reviving the dormant tiller. It’s been fun, educational, a little costly, but definitely rewarding.

I’m in Rhode Island, USA, zone 6. I’m a conventional gardener using conventional methods. Crops last year were corn, peas, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cukes, pumpkins, sunflowers, and gourds. This year I’ve dropped the corn and added beans, squash, and watermelon. Also, the garden was expanded this Spring to allow the ‘bullies’ (pumpkins and watermelons) room to grow, and to put in asparagus.

Looks lovely and productive!

Is the bunny wild or cultivated? And do you find yourself fighting Bambi and co for the fruits of your labours? If not, what's your repellant? (I have a friend whose gardening in a backyard has been stymied by the wildlife munching on her plants.)

We planted asparagus last year, and it's starting to finally come around a bit.
Sounds like you've got a nice garden!
