Now while I love my garden…you may have noticed that I only grow flowers not food!
It’s not that I don’t like food….it’s just that between the deer and the rabbits….there isn’t much chance that any food would make it to the table.
I do grow some lettuce and herbs on the deck….
but that is the extent of our “farming”!
We have to leave the food growing to the experts….
Have I told you about my brother?
- He lives in Florida in the Winter and Maine in the Summer!
- He is a sustainable urban gardener
- He is an expert in the science of permaculture
- Maybe some day he will “guest post” for Sweetwater Style!

So we will be eating our vegetables….and letting the experts worry about foiling the deer and the bunnies!
Speaking of Bunnies…..here is a great kid read a loud….
After I published this post….I got a comment from my niece about this great looking planter that you can get (her husband-my nephew sells them…who knew?)

Mary- I am with you- I do flowers and not veggies…although I hope to grow some pumpkins this year for the grandkids.
Love your brother's business…and I love the service you have signed up for.
I don't know the book you mentioned but I will look it up! xo Diana
I love the lettuce it tastes so much better than the bought lettuce…It is hard work growing veggies with varmits around. Rabbits ate my lettuce this year. I love to see the bunnies come around but last year they left them alone not this year…fun post I enjoyed it.

Hey Mary,
I thought that your post is so true, the varments make gardening a little discouraging! Another great way to have your veggies at your reach is with a product called trio life. If you go to http://mvas.com/index.cfm/pageid/111
You can find more info. Ask for Derek Kovaleski and he can answer all of your questions!
We have had some trouble with rodents and snakes. But we do love having our veggie garden Hugs!
I just looked at the link in the comment from Tiffany. The planter on the link looks amazing! I might just have to get me one of these!
