Winter Wonderland

Yesterday evening, we installed another section of chicken wire fencing to our garden posts. It is hard to get that stuff to lay flat, but we managed to get it nailed on to the backside of our garden fence, between 4 posts. I'd like to say that we'll finish the wire fence this weekend and begin putting up lateral supports, but I'm not so sure the weather will go along with that plan.
We woke up this morning to almost an inch of snow on the back porch. Rain in the forecast for the next 2 days.
Maybe I can paint pickets under the front-door overhang.
Besides our vegetable garden, which is tops on our priority list right now, we also have several smaller areas for perennials, shrubs, and other gardens. I am hoping to get working on an herb-perennial garden under our Crape Myrtle. Maybe after we get our veggie seeds in the ground.

I'm jealous - you guys get to plant stuff way before we do!

We have big plans for our back yard this year too! We have already gotten started; Sunday we rented a jackhammer and took out this ugly concrete sidewalk. Next up: raised beds. We need to fortify the garden this year against all the backyard critters - including Chloe.

Love the blog, J!
