The cats did not ruin the whole greens garden beds! You can see where they have been digging in my dirt but I already have lots of greens up since Sunday. I tried to take a picture just now but it is too dark so I will add one in the morning. If I keep the beds fairly wet which they need to be anyway the cats don’t dig in it as much! I can also replant in the bare areas, I hope this weekend. The cole crops I planted under my fruit trees in the hugelkulture are still alive. I have lost one as something broke off the leaves and only left a stem. We are watering them every morning and evening. We shall see if we can keep those plants alive! If not, not a big loss. It is an experiment. This weekend I will plant the rest of my fall garden down at the creek garden. It is ready to go with lots of wheat straw for mulch. I also hope to set up my newest bed with my chickens preparing the ground throughout the winter. I will put a small chicken tractor and four chickens in a small area with an electric fence and have them dig and till the ground all winter so I can plant in the spring. That idea came from the chicken man. I will post his web site below!
