My daffodils will flower next year. The sheep can’t get to them now.  Cool 
   
Some rusty old gates with one of them opening some I can get in there to work on the bed from time to time. Also a couple of old metal fence panels and a few horse shoes makes it up. Tomorrow I’ll add a little more wood chip and plant some seedlings. I scattered lots of seed over the whole bed last week . Might add more now, theirs not so many things trampling over the bed. Deer could still get in but it’s definitely a deterrent and hoping they won’t become It’s a very small area.
