I've been working hard this past week to install my garden fence to keep out dogs, deer, cats, skunks, kids and any other plant damaging creature :) Granted, it isn't much of a garden yet as there isn't much growing in the 20x50 ft. space (Jeremy, I'm sorry for balking at your 20x40 ft. garden) but I have lots to transplant. It may seem kind of late to be starting a garden but June in Montana has been very wet and cold so I'm not that far behind.
While Justin was on his trip I took the kids to Home Resource, a recycling center that sells used (but still useable) home improvement material. I guessed at what I needed and was only off by one 4x4 post! I then started digging post holes and Justin got home in time to show me how to use the drill. He wasn't able to offer much physical assistance due to a bad mountain biking accident in Moab that left both shoulders injured. I drilled and stapled in rain and cold determined to get the fence up in time to plant everything this weekend when it's supposed to be in the 70s. Thanks to awesome neighbors who had a surplus of 3in. wood screws and a charged cordless drill for me to use when I forgot to charge ours, I got it done just in time. I was even smart enough to put the latch on the inside of the gate so I can lock myself in there when the kids and dog get to be too much. My own fortress of solitude.

that's awesome :-) I'm completely impressed with your fence building abilities. Nice work :-) I'll try to get a couple pictures of Jeremy's garden to post so you can see what a summer in IN would allow you to grow and harvest by June ;-)
Wow!!! I can't wait for Papa to see this! :)

That is a sweet garden space, Melinda. I hope Justin gets better soon. Nothing broken, right?
