Garden gates came out pretty nice.



Got the weed mat and mulch in the pathways too.


Got the "fixins" for the soil too. Composted cow manure, peat and sand. It's shaping up nicely. Hard to remember what it looked like before.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

That looks great.  I had to build an anti-rabbit, ground hog fort around mine.  :'(

I see you have corner posts so I assume the fence is next.

Yup. There's a roll of 2x4x4' galvanized fence in the garage. I want to run some 1" emt between the posts  to stabilize everything. I'll bore into the post to set the and secure it with some long screws. It'll serve as the top fence rails as well.thats tomorrow afternoon's project.

I used a hand tamper to pound down the soil and rocks in the pathways. My Hands need a day to recover.

I have 2x4 welded wire for the fencing on my dog run. One day when I was gone on a trip one of the labs brought a baby bunny that did not have it's eyes open yet to the boss woman. Somehow the female rabbit got through the welded wire and made a nest in the high grass. Of course one of the labs had to find the nest. There I is no other way the rabbit could have gotten in other than through the wire as there is buried wood under the gate and the wire was not disturbed for it to have gotten under the rest of the fence.

Along the run of the fence I used round step in fiberglass posts with clips to hold the wire that I get from Tractor Supply. They have held to 7 or 8 years so far.

Got the top rails in for the fence in this afternoon. I'll wire the fence to the top rail and nail it to the bottom border.

How does your garden grow?  ;D

Remember my garden project from this last spring? Well, it's doing great. ;D



Lots of peppers, tomatoes, cukes, garlic, beans and radishes.



Thes a couple cubes of parsley and some giant sunflowers coming in. There's also a variety pack of sunflowers along the compost bin that are poking up.

Asparagus starting to poke through.



A world with fresh  radishes is a wonderful place.



Very much worth the effort.

Yes they were Dan.

I love radishes. I have 8 varieties planted I think. The "square foot" plan is pretty cool.

My room mate and I grew radishes on college.

At least that's what we called them.

It's working pretty well Dom.
Beans, radishes, herbs, garlic, cukes, tomatoes

More cukes, tomatoes, asparagus bed, more radishes .....(I love radishes) more peppers. And giant sunflowers ;D




The watering system is great. 15 minutes and everything is happy.
