Garden Pics

I'm tending Amy and Micah's plot in the garden. Well, me and the gopher are tending it. He is really really annoying. Took out another tomato, and some red russian kale this week. Grrrr. I'm going to put in a raised bed this weekend. And as you'll see in the pics, I have some funky protection strategies.

I like the shadow self portrait. Thyme and strawberries.
White trash tomato trellising.


Red russian kale, epazote, sunflowers (?), chocolate mint in a container.
Tomatoes in chickenwire cages, tomatoes in milk crate cages, basil, onion.
Adzuki bean. The gopher was eating on the foliage. Butternut squash on the side.
You don't have much control on focusing with a point and shoot.... still kinda cool.
Volunteer bean from whatever Amy had planted last year.
Ditto. Ditto.
Tomato in a milk crate and tomato in a wire mesh trashcan.
Strawberries. The Gopher is killing them. Any tips??
