I added a bird feeder about 10 feet from my garden. It is for gold finches, after about 3 weeks of waiting for them they finally found the feeder. I love watching them in the morning. Sometimes they come around mid afternoon for a snack too.

I live in a condo and have a small garden which goes around 2 sides of my patio. I also have a raised bed container where I have all my herbs growing. This year was bad for Japanese beetles, they seem to love eating my basil and mint. I ended up having to coverup the basil with a light blanket I found at gardeners.com. I have a rabbit too, he likes the beets I had growing around the patio. I covered up the beets too.
