Reworking The Garden

Thought we would rework the garden so next summer at the end of our ten year plan we would have everything like we want it so we can sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Using...repurposing and using some split rail fencing that we used on the other side of the yard to help build a fence.  The chickens have found the garden and are scratching it to death.  May not have any asparagrass that I have waited for for three years.

We didn't have any posts in our little pile behind the barn so Mark bought three.  And just look where they are from.  Going to be a great fence.

We took turns digging with the posthole digger.  That's like work!

We cheated just a bit.  We got smart and cut about 8 inched off the bottom of the post so we wouldn't have to dig as far.  Then we pounded it in as far as we could.  Worked like a charm.  Usually we put our posts in concrete...not this time.

I couldn't stand it.  One last post before dark.  I knew I could do it!

Finished Job...well almost.  

The plan is to dig us some rocks from the yard to line up under the fence to hold in all the wood chips that we are going to use to cover the grass.  That way we won't have to mow and I can get a few more beds in.  I want to try to do the herbs in a straw bale garden.  Still have some work to do but I'm pleased with it so far.
