How did I miss this thread??? Jacki, that is going to be awesome when it fills in!! It does look heavy.
Lynn, I did have critter problems last year but only in my raised bed. They didn't bother my wreaths at all. I think Jacki's idea of using hardware cloth sounds like it will work great.
Jacki, what an impressive website you have! Will check it out better when I get some more time.
Debbie, will be looking forward to seeing pictures of yours too.
