Garden Fence

This weekend, our focus was getting a garden fence up that would save the vegetables already showing life above ground. The green pea shoots have already been eaten off so the pressure was on to get a substantial fence up before all the wild critters showed up for a free buffet meal.

Our garden fence is 24 ft x 12 ft and 5 ft high. We buried the chicken wire into the ground and hope the fence is tall enough to discourage deer from jumping in and helping themselves.

Here I am topping the fence with barbed wire. We ran two strands along the top thinking that those masked marauders that show up at night might not be so anxious to crawl over the top of the fence once their little paws touch a sharp barb.

Believe me, those barbs are sharp. If I was a raccoon, I'd look elsewhere for supper.

Mary buries the chicken wire while I take pictures. Ok, I helped, but I did take the picture.

We still have the door to build and install and if the rain holds off we plan to get that done this week.


Thanks for stopping by and have a safe day.
