Is that an electric fence?
A big ol live oak back there.

This is the ancient one

Wisterias and Azaleas are blooming too. I hate it because I know we’re going to get another frost before Easter. All I have planted is Potatoes and Lettuce. The Prime Day for above ground plants, according to the Almanac, is April 5th. I’m going to keep a close eye on the forecast starting 4-1 and go from there on squash, tomatoes, and peppers

Nice, I wish I had some more color around the house. And a big ole oak to shade my 5th wheel (from a distance )

I'll post the LIve Oak that my Grandaughter and her Husband used for a back drop at their Wedding if she ?ever? sends it to me LOL

We had pretty oaks in the front yard till the ice storm ruined them, I suppose they will grow back or not?

on the planting "Rambo" I have heard all my life about the almanac, however the farmers I used to know, always said to plant by the moon, which is a full moon for above ground and dark for below ground, me not being a professional, always used Easter as the last freeze above ground marker

my "late great Father-in-Law" had two books that he lived by - - - The Bible and The Farmer's Almanac
his Garden was always the Envy of all that knew and loved him

The Amanac calendar is by the moon

Those baskets are pretty clever. I suppose those plants will out grow them soon?
I built my boxes 2’ high but that’s still probably not high enough to keep the rabbits out.

As Emmitt mentioned, chicken wire is a cheap, relatively easy fencing material that would keep out rabbits. Now, Coons, squirrels, and birds are a different story
