Default My 2016 garden start-up

Strawberries finished; had to cover broccoli to encourage side shoots in the 90-degree weather. Corn, beets, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, green peppers, green beans all doing great so far.

Thanks luigiwu, a creek cuts through our property (top left of garden) so we are always trying to keep one step ahead of the critters. If it gets in, it will be a Snapping Turtle , or something with wings!

I used treated 2x4x16's and 12's. Staked the corners and every 4' on the runs with treated 2x2's. On the splices I used 2x4 stakes. Made stakes at least 12" due to my sandy soil. Pre drill 2x4 so it will draw up tight to the stake. I used 3" torx head screws. They may stick through the stake a little if you counter sink them very much. Doesn't really cause any problem being on the inside. Don't beat yourself up trying to get the rows perfect as you can see there is going to be warpage.
