Gardening In the spring of 2006 we had a custom garden fence built.  The area is 24x48 feet and the fence is 8 feet tall. View shortly after the fence was built: Then we made a wheelbarrow path around the perimeter, added stepping stone walkways between the rows, and spread 10 cubic yards of garden compost to make raised beds. By the first of August the garden looked like this. Wayne's satellite antennas are in the garden because the lattice conceals the view from outside.  That makes the Historic Commission happy. Below are 2010 photos of the garden: Anaheim Peppers Beets Liberty apple Pumpkin 'Rossi di Milano' red onions Stupice tomatoes Ruby Frost Coreopsis Dahlias Purple Coneflower in the front yard Black-Eyed Susans and Begonias in front of the house
