A Well Protected Garden

One of the most important aspects of growing a garden is garden protection. In these turbulent times, one cannot be too careful when it comes to keeping thieves out of the garden. In this area, two of the most persistent garden pests are rabbits and gypsies.

These two garden thieves have a lot in common. Both are covered in hair, both will eat sugar snap peas before they get very far out of the ground, and neither have souls.

In order to protect against rabbits and gypsies, I've used 2 foot tall chicken wire and 5 foot tee-posts. My neighbor must have been having a problem with persistent gypsies because he ran electric fence around his. I hope I do not have to resort to this!
