Wouldn't it be great to have a crew of 12 come in this summer (along with all the needed supplies free of charge, of course) to take care of all on our Must Do list? Uhh, but wait. Would I have to feed them all???Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-3577019543823200152023-03-23T17:39:39.769-05:002023-03-23T17:39:39.769-05:00The fence sounds like not just a big job but also ...The fence sounds like not just a big job but also a hefty budget.tpalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646231041413714929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-23031394493505996532023-03-23T14:58:02.393-05:002023-03-23T14:58:02.393-05:00Michelle - The "problem" with the area i...Michelle - The "problem" with the area in which we have our little homestead is that it's surrounded by forest. (So why are we gardening here? Good question!) But it's not as though we will be clear-cutting any part of it that we'll be taking out now. And all the wood will be used to add to our firewood needs.<br /><br />Rosalea - As with all "big" jobs, we're currently rethinking the fencing job. We tend to take on way too many big jobs at once (the desperate need to re-do a storage structure this summer comes to mind) so now we're thinking of reinforcing/mending the fencing for one more year rather going for the complete replacement. I got a chuckle out of your "gardening on a larger scale" when referring to managing the forest. You're right!<br /><br />Anonymous - We'll replace the fencing (whenever we do it) with that of the same kind as we have now because it's been so durable. It's a reinforced rigid plastic mesh-type fencing with about a 2" x 2" squares, 7' high to keep out the deer and small critters such as rabbits, raccoons, etc.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-76043895975350961702023-03-23T09:40:45.002-05:002023-03-23T09:40:45.002-05:00what dimensions and kind of fence will you replace...what dimensions and kind of fence will you replace with?

Itching to get some seeds planted here as well.
