It should be tidied up before Monday.
I've started a fence to keep the rabbits out. I put up some poles to hold the wire, and this weekend if all goes as planned I'll put in the metal end posts and wire.
If you look close you can see the owl on the far end keeping a vigilant outlook for rabbits!

I had something "ungardening" quite a bit for me. I finally put netting around both of my little raised gardens and that has helped so far. it has been so cold here of late (lows in the high 30s at night) that everything seems to have gone slightly dormant. things are still growing, but not quite as robustly as before. a couple of the tomato plants have blossoms on them!
