When in doubt, build a fence
My new chicken-proof garden fence
So this weekend was supposed to dawn rainy on Saturday and I planned to be in the greenhouse, planting seeds and (hopefully) getting my garden journal in order so I can actually keep track of what I planted and when so I can remember my successes and failures from year to year. But, the day instead dawned fabulously sunny and cool, so I of course decided that I needed to have a new fence.
One minute I was standing in the garden, thinking about whether the area I wanted to put 2 new veggie beds got enough sun and the next minute I was at Home Depot calculating how many pickets I would need to get all the way around the new garden area. My husband was as bewildered as I was, since of course now he was going to be building a fence as well. I felt guilty for about 30 seconds and then continued to plot and plan…with a real fence I could keep the chickens out, which means I can plant flower borders and put a cute sign on the garden gate and…and…and…
I even had enough time to get those seeds planted in the greenhouse!
