Garden update - by Irene Shonle
So, last fall, I had gotten fed up with creatures eating my garden, and had performed a garden makeover.
Here's my update: my garden is burgeoning!
It's such a pleasant change from last year when I would go out each morning to discover new depredations and would wring my hands. This year, I just go out and harvest greens for my daily salad (have to keep up with all these greens somehow!) and smile. Between the hardware cloth keeping the pocket gophers and voles out, and the floating row covers keeping everything from the deer to the flea beetles out, everything looks great! The bunny poop and compost have provided abundant growth, and the rains we've been having have also meant I've hardly had to water at all. Closest thing I've ever had to a no-work garden.
Lovin' it.

I would love to read more about floating row covers - and maybe see a picture, too.
