Started building a secure garden fence | Page 3 | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

Unfortunately, $700 to $800. I try to avoid keeping detailed costs of all of our projects around here.

Lots of strawberries, roma tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, sunflower, corn, sugar peas, watermelon -- think that is it. We planted all stuff we could eat/enjoy and tried to limit the size of the garden for the first year. We'll see if we want/need more room next year. Our soil is very sandy so we will always need to bring in top soil and/or use raised beds.

Thanks K. My wife wants to hang flowers out from each post with some sort of a metal hanger. We found some wild grapes out by our creek -- but there is a lot of shade from the tree tops and who knows how long it has been since they have produced fruit.

Not sure, is this the time of year? I need to go check on them by the creek. A friend pointed out wild huckleberry plants and now I see them *everywhere*. Hopefully I can grab some berries off of them before the deer do.

BTW a neighbor brought by some squirrel meat over the weekend. It was awesome.

Nothing has gotten in -- except some tomato caterpillars -- but I think those came with our plants. I don't have any cameras out or anything but even since we have gotten rid of our dog I have not seen any sign of any critter other than turkey or deer coming around. So far so good.
