Default what will you do differently?

Well, for the first time in forever I ordered seeds way early. But not
for the first time I planted the garlic way late. As mentioned when I
did my kraut experiments, I'll be growing cabbage for the first time as
a direct result of the kraut experiments.

I have hopes to get the expletive fence rebuilt, cat-tight and deer
high (one of the neighbors trained the local deer by growing sunflowers
a few years ago. Used to be a 4 foot fence was sufficient - they could
have jumped it but didn't bother - now they jump like crazy.) Related is
rebedding. Going to try woodchips (deep) on the paths. Related is...

Got more drainage to do.

Need to haul more poop, since poop is the essence of garden here in
"throw pots from the sub-soil" land. If you ain't got poop, you ain't
got topsoil.

Tilt at the bleeping windmill of creeping buttercup. It makes me think
about 2, 4, D which is not exactly my normal thought direction on
gardening. Nothing all that new there, though - it's been a battle for
years.

Might actually redo the grape trellis, but I've been saying that and not
getting it done for a few years.
