Finally with the help of some friends we finished the fencing that is to keep the deer from devouring my garden. There are a few finishing touches to be done but the gate is in place and the garden should be safe when I go back to Ontario for a few weeks.
The garden is growing, though some things are doing better than others. The plastic came off early and the basil didn't like that one bit.
But we are harvesting lettuce, radish and pac choi, so the cold isn't bothering them at all.
A generous layer of the local sea soil compost has been applied to all the vege beds. That should set the gardens up for the summer.
Finally we had some rain. Six weeks with almost none! Hopefully there will be enough over the next few weeks while I'm away to keep things growing. At least the deer will be kept out.
A final touch to the job was a sculpture done by John Leonard using some of the interesting drift wood we found on our excursions.

The cilantro I wintered over are flowering, so lots of seeds for future plantings and curries.
