I left it go to weeds and finally it looked like we might get some warm days and sun. I pulled every weed out by the roots, turned the soil and planted again. My garden started to look good and then one day all the buds on my lilies were gone as were the green beans and lettuce. The next morning the corn was eaten to the ground. I caught a bunny in the garden so next we put up a fence and again I planted.
The next day a hole was eaten in the fence and more of the almost bare garden was gone. I couldn't believe a small rabbit could eat a hole in the fence. We put up the trap at the hole. Yesterday morning we had caught the garden thief and it was not the bunny at all.
I'm not so sure all this was worth it. I use to enjoy having a garden but I was healthy then and I don't remember fighting all these things to grow it. I made a list of what wasn't touched. Onions, beets,cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs...not much of a garden.

Did you say garden....LOL....I didn't get to plant anything this year and it's a good thing because it's been hot, dry, dusty, with grasshoppers galore. I've got bunnies too and I think I really didn't want to go to all that trouble. Maybe next year or an autumn garden.....sigh!!
You need raised beds so that you don't have to bend over any lower than necessary.
I want one for better drainage behind by garage - off the screen room. But I've been wanting it about five years now so, evidently it is not going to happen. ;-)
You've hung in there longer than I would. I start the season off thinking everything will be so nice and pretty, then it gets so hot I just about don't care. Anything I plant now are perennials so I won't have to replant. Haven't tried too many vegetables.
