<< How do you keep cats out of the beds? I have planted some lettuce,
radishes,
 carrots and spinach as seeds and then a couple of tomatos and a bell pepper
 as plants and there is a staked side of the box for my sweet pea flowers now
 and later peas and beans, so it is not easy to just put something down over
 the top of the whole box. I went out this morning and half of the radish
 section was dug up (yesterday it was the lettuce). >>

I have one cat and a neighbors cat who both like to dig in my garden. I put a
small fence (10-12" high) arround it and then dug up a portion of my back
yard for flowers. The cats don't touch my vegetable garden but they do damage
to the flower bed. I'd rather have it this way then having them dig up my
vegetables. Although my wife gets upset about the flowers.
