Garden Story: The Fence

 This spring we decided that it was finally time to build a permanent fence around the garden. We've spent too many years watching the deer, rabbits, and who knows what else fatten up their families on our veggies. Our fence budget was $500.
 
Mary loves to help Daddy outside. They are two peas in a pod! She could stay outside all day and well into the night if Daddy is with her. She is Daddy's girl for sure. So, he dug the holes with a rented auger from a friend and then set the posts.
 
The fence took a little longer than expected. Mostly the weather and the kitchen floor were to blame. It would figure that this is the year we get more snow than usual.
 
 
But it sure was beautiful!
 
 
After the snow melted he was back to work. He wrapped the fencing around the posts and secured them. I was really surprised how sturdy it is. Nothing is getting under this baby unless it can dig!
   

 
And at last the tilling began. Well until the tires needed to be replaced on the tiller. Of course they were special order so we're still waiting for them.
 
 
Lastly he built this amazing gate! I am so proud :) Now lets see what we can grow!
