Thanks for the nice comments!

On the three tripods together I have yellow beans and then two kinds of green beens. The rail fence in the middle is spagetti squash, then the small rails at the corner next to the raspberries is just flowers. Supposed to be huge white flowers that kind of look like a trillium. Actually looking forward to see them when they blossom. Supposed to have a great smell to them as well. Idea behind the flowers throughout the garden is to get different smells around the garden in hopes of keeping the deer away. So far the fence has done its job that I put up. I added another 3 feet to the already 7 feet I had yesterday. I need to get one more roll then I can have it finished off and then cut the tops off my tall posts. I figure if a deer is going to want to jump over the fence now.... the begger had better be inside when I wake up in the moring, cause he'd be going into the freezer!

Oh trust me, there is weeds in that garden....I find them everyday!! I just know I do not want to let them go like I have in the past....its REALLY hard to stay ahead of the weeds around here. Doesn't help that I have a field next to me full of them that doesn't get cut down each year. Needless to say when I get an East wind, a lot of the seeds fly my way and get my lawn and garden. I hate weeds!

How are your tomatoes doing Allen, I seen your wife's posting a while ago that she was having issues with them?

My daughter was looking at the garden yesterday and was joking she was going to submit it to the newspaper, she thought I was nuts spending so much time on it and how clean it was. My mother was comparing it to the Victory Garden in England because of how its arranged and different looking - I told her she was nuts, its NO WHERE near that nice!!

The soil is pretty nice I do admit. Sandy loam for the top eight inches or so then its a good layer of sand below that and if I get down as far as a foot and a half I will hit clay, REALLY hard clay. I know this soil is much nicer to work with than the clay that I grew up with at home in the garden - now that sucked to work in!
