Justin came out last night and this morning we went out to the middle field and took down the tipi he'd built from a billboard tarp and assembled there a year and a half ago and hauled it to the garden and reassembled it. The plan is that I'll be staying in it this summer to keep critters out of the garden. I'll also have Kita on a run in the garden, together I doubt we'll have any problems.
We set it up in a position where it would get the best shade, but I won't be in it during the day anyway. There's a few things to fix up and tweak on it still. It needs a door flap, some new smoke flap adjustment poles, and it needs to be staked down. I'm putting a raised tent platform inside of it and I'll have a mattress on that.
Being up in the garden will be nice too since I'll be a lot less likely to neglect the plants. I've decided to dedicate at least 30 minutes every morning to working in the garden. I think it's going to be fun, besides it's not too often you get to say you live in a tipi.
