PVC structure to protect from pests

Here is my simple structure to protect young seedlings from getting consumed by my little garden friends. To take it off I can just lift it up. Here I am starting some sunflowers in a potato sack.

They are are measured to just fit on top of my bins where I can fasten whatever I want to them. On the back side of the swiss chard are snap peas. I haven’t been able to grow them because the birds eat all the leaves leaving nothing but a bare stem. This will protect them and provide something for the vine to crawl on.

Here are my senorita peppers seedlings next to the bush basil. I started them indoors under a glow panel. I am going to let them hardy up outside for a little bit and then transplant. Before when I did this the plants were gone in less than an hour. Hopefully this structure will give them a fighting chance. Picture below is from when I was growing them indoors.

    Are you calling your sweet dog a pest? He might take offense at that. HA HA

    QUite an impressive garden. If it wasn’t for all the time you enjoy being out in the frash air enjoying yourself tending it I’d say it was more work than return. But the joy of doing it far out weighs the work and it’s a big plus getting to eat the results!
