The fence is complete!

It's Fence Time!
As promised, the new post shows our fence. Not in its entirety, but progress is being made. Luckily, we have the lower garden all planted and the shoots are starting to come up. We are "lasagna gardening" which means we are layering cardboard bike boxes (thanks to our new friends at Xtreme Wheels ) and straw to help with weed control. I also just learned that as the cardboard decays, the fungus produces a sugar that feeds the earthworms....yeah for multitasking. We are now trying to decide whether to take the chance and plant some seeds before the fence is completely up. We do have memories of turkeys walking down the rows of newly planted soybeans and eating them out of the ground. But we may take our chances with beets and lettuce. I am going to be eternally optimistic and say that our next post will show our new fence completely up. A special thanks to our fence building team and a special shout out to my papa, who never ceases to amaze me.
