This project will continue in the spring with some rodent proofing. Not the first priority before winter, since the only thing planted is garlic. I'm thinking I'll add 4' of chicken wire around the inside, 3' above ground and at least 1' buried. A hawk patrols our field, so I've not seen many rabbits around, but there are two fat groundhogs that cause me some concern. They are said to be rabies carriers and could wreak as much havoc as deer, so some of this strategizing is ongoing. I do realize that prevention is better than allowing them a taste of the garden and then trying to keep them out!
