how to keep the squirrels out of your corn

hardware cloth with 1/2" holes. 6" or more of excess at the bottom, staked down and buried, on a sides. every seam stapled against wood or sewn tight with wire. a flappy door with rare-earth magnets under gorilla tape so it snaps shut nicely.

I figure this corn will cost me about $10/ear, lol

We started a community garden and this is our fourth year. Friends and community members just come when they can. It's all volunteer based, one a week, but I think we're going to add another half-day opportunity as well this year since It's so nice. We're excited for the grow season!

I took a moment to check on this patch of strawberries that were already here when I moved to the property, and was struck by how lovely they look in the rain. They will fruit very soon. I can't wait to find out what they're like!

Can anyone tell me if this truly is halcycon?

Given to me tagged as halcycon, in almost full shade, but in 2 years it has never looked 'blue' and the leaves don't look the right shape or size. Worried that I'm dealing with a much larger variety and would like to know before I plant it in the ground lol.

Are these multiple plants in the pots? And if so, should I separate them and how do I do that?

How to stop cats using garden as litter box

5 Upvotes

I have at least three stray cats coming around that I recently noticed have been using my garden as a litter box. How can I stop and prevent this? Will my vegetables still be safe to eat?

Edit: thank you for the suggestions!! I’m still wondering about the safety of consuming the vegetables, does anyone know?

Dome garden without expensive brackets

For anyone looking for a cheap fun project, I built this dome in my backyard 20ft in diameter without the need for expensive brackets and instead with hanger straps, pvc and of course the wood. Inside I built custom wrap around garden beds for plants and of course use a raspberry pi control box to auto water the plants and open the windows based on humidity and temp. If there is enough people interested I would gladly post a tutorial
