I finally found a supply of bird netting behind a fertilizer display at Lowe’s. Bird netting was a part of my original garden design due to the immense overpopulation of starlings, grackles, and other miscellaneous rats-with-wings-that-eat-your-garden that we have to contend with. They ate about half of my free gladiola and narcissus bulbs. They pecked a hole in and killed last year’s Super 100 plant … twice. They ate my squash. They… well, you get the idea.

Once I managed to find it, a 14×14 roll was only $5.99, so I shelled out for it and strung it up last night using the last of the mason wire that I’d used to space out the square foot garden posts.
