Back Yard Project - Garden Fence Upgrade - NF

[Leecher]

Been kind of busy with this project the last couple of weeks and yesterday was a perfect day to continue working at it The racks / posts around my garden needed to be taken down and new stuff put in..... the idea was to install the same material all around...... amazing what one can do with a miter saw and strapping (1" x 2"s of spruce)

 

Got 50% done for now and running kind of late in the season, so the other 50% will have to wait til next spring. Started with the tomatoes, I still have to staple plastic mesh around it..... got a small door installed to give me access when it's time to plant or harvest..... notice the hinges and wing nuts.... it opens from the the top

 

 

Next, tackled the garlic box..... now this, had to put some thinking into it..... the height of the fence is 36" and somehow need access for planting and harvest so I decided to build small doors that can be removed from the top by sliding them.... suffice to say that I'm real proud of the outcome

 

 

Here it is when all doors are down

 

 

I still got this one to do

 

 

and this one

 

 

But like I said previously, running out of time..... will have to wait until next spring....

 

The rasberry plants has been cut down to normal heights

 

 

and a couple of pine trees has been trimmed to my likings

 

 

 

 

and so are the flower beds

 

 

Now what would Thanks Giving be without one of these

 

 

Hope you enjoy!

Happy Thanks Giving Everyone

do you have enough projects on the go !! when do you find time to fish

I'm in the same boat as you...cut down the perennials today, cleaned out the garden shed, put the patio furniture away, cleaned up the workshop, trimmed the hedges, and put the rods in the boat

going out for a few hours tomorrow before supper.

Beautiful wood work.

 

The mesh that you will install - is that to act as a sun house or to keep critters out?

Nice work. That gives me ideas for my garden. I was waiting for my blackberries to ripen and just when I figured they'd be ready - gone!!! Some critter had a nice little dessert

Not much time to fish right now.... I still have a few more projects but they are mainly indoors

Good luck tomorrow Paul
