Sunday

when I was in a hi-rise and grew a bunch of different heirlooms. I'm in a house now with a small patio and have one in a vegtrug (a standalone raised bed unit) with a pepper and some herbs. I wanted something small so have a "Patio" one and since I didn't want the squirrels taking a bite out of them and then leaving them on the ground, I have the insect cover over the unit.
