As for our garden, I logged off right after that post. I don't have anyone on ignore. She grows several types of beans and sugar snap peas. Also cucumber, several types of tomatoes and various pepers. Also several types of herbs and pleanty of welts from the mosquitoes. They're as big as walking street birds and just as hungry.
^Does all that fencing keep the deer and other critters from getting the goodies fish?
For the most part yes. Not allways, afew years ago I had to set up a trail cam to see what was eating my sprouts. Found it was a rabbit that could squeeze under the fence in a spot or two so put chicken wire right down to the ground. I figured if it hold in a chicken it can hold out a rabbit.
We use 4x8 sheets of concrete reinforcing wire and many fence posts as a lattice for the beans. A bit to set up every year but works like a charm as you can see by the hight of the plants.
We use a pole pounder to set the posts and zip ties to hang the reinforcing sheets. Been using the same sheets and poles for years. Works great.
I had problems in the past with deer jumping the fence and used sprays as a deterant. This year just been lucky I guess.
Cheers and happy gardening if you're into it.
I used to be, getting too lazy now. :) It seemed to me your garden spot was pretty shady...or does it get more sun than it looked from the angle of your pics?Quote:

Anyway, hopefully the road will be half flooded when I pass you on my motorbike. :)
