Re: Finally!! Something to show!
I watch my neighbor plant veggies, water them everyday, and his small flower gardens are also thriving! I get the benefit of watching things grow, without lifting a finger! He even brings me cuttings from the flowers when they are in full bloom.Tomatoes last year amounted to nothing, so we are hopeful this time they do well.
Stay with it, Pixie! You seem to have a wonderful start.

Well mine are on raised beds and I put vaseline round the edges, so fingers crossed nothing happens to them. You could try copper wire too, apparently that works.
