All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

See also our Environment community, which is focused on weather, climate, climate change, and stuff like that.

Today marks the beginning of the second full week of Spring in the northern hemisphere, even if some of us are stuck in second winter. Share your garden goals, projects, challenges, and successes for this growing season; share your tips, tricks, and garden hacks, or anything else you'd like. Let's all help each other grow something beautiful together!

If folks are into it, I'd like to make this a weekly thread for everyone to share updates and assistance as the year progresses. Please let me know if that's something you'd all like.

I'm worried about bunnies this year as well - how tall were the fences you put in?

Just a foot and a half high, but they were individual for each plant so each fence circle was like 1 foot diameter maximum. I think if you had a bigger fenced area you'd need higher fences.

I made them out of hardware cloth and took them in over the winter and they've held up really well, so at least I don't have to make new ones!
